Ventanas - Flamenco Meets Sephardic on New Ventanas album
06/05/2015
Though they sprang from the same soil and from closely related languages, flamenco and Sephardic Jewish song could not be more different. Flamenco burns with passion and fury, and performances reach an emotional fever pitch. Sephardic singers let the wry tales in songs speak for themselves, with reserved precision.

BOLO - Bolo: Singing to the Divine on Their Debut
06/26/2015
It’s a fresh recipe with ancient ingredients. The sweet music of the soul. It’s the sound of Bolo, who make connections between different cultures and traditions and forge them into something new, still wearing the honor of the past, but also with the ripe taste of the future. What they’ve created shines out on their debut album

Bicicletas Por La Paz - Bicicletas Por La Paz: A Latin Funk Circus, Belief on Two Wheels with Musica Por Puppets
06/30/2015
There’s a quiet revolution going on. A very quiet revolution, just pedals and tires on blacktop. A bicycle revolution. And that band up ahead? That’s the soundtrack to it all, made by Bicicletas Por La Paz, a group of musicians and bike activists. And their debut, Musica Por Puppets (released June 30, 2015) is their manifesto.

Jah9 - Jah9 Live in NYC at SOB's, with Dubtonic Kru July 27th
07/27/2015 - SOB's, New York, NY at 9:00 PM
When Jah9 sings, hearts and minds awaken. Old school blues with lyrical prowess, in a rich imaginative blend of vocal clarity & complexity. She sings with a voice that belies the dimensions of her physical body, from a soul much older than its current vessel. Her philosophy is profoundly spiritual, and her style is Jazz on Dub.

Shankar Tucker - Shankar Tucker: Weaving India and the West Together with Filament
07/28/2015
As a child, Shankar Tucker wanted to play the sax. But since his grandfather could teach him, he was pushed toward clarinet, not realizing it would lead him to helping Indian and Western cultures join while also become a YouTube star, on the way to his debut album, Filament (released July 28, 2015 on Shrutibox Music Records)

Mem Nahadr - Mem Nahadr Embodies the Essence of Classical Ambience and Contemporary Beats on New Album
07/28/2015
In an era where aesthetic is political, the love for music is the spokesperson for the beauty and brains of Mem Nahadr. A woman who has transcended all boxes with her presence, passion and position in the music world, Mem, also referred to as “M” brings a divine element to jazz orchestra and the world of symphonic sounds.
