Make Music NY is a gigantic
annual celebration of the first day of summer - over a thousand free concerts throughout New York City. Similar festive happenings
commemorate the solstice in hundreds of cities around the world — it's
a global celebration of music making.
This year for the first time WFMU joins in the revelry as Transpacific
Sound Paradise travels to New York's newest world musicky venue, Meridian23,
161 W 23rd St. near 7th Ave., for three hours of wall-to-wall live
music.
Tune in or drop by for five sets of great sounds from around the world
- and around the corner:
Ani
Cordero sings classic South American songs of love and protest;
Malian guitar master Badian
Diabaté joins Sam Dickey of
Benyoro for sublime string-driven duets;
Los Hacheros inject
Afro-Cuban flavor with their earthy old-school salsa and charanga
sounds
Gnawa
Boussou explores ancient Moroccan Sufi spiritual music with
Sub-Saharan roots;
and Amino Belyamani and Bed
Stuy Ewe Ensemble take us home with driving West African
percussion.
Admission is, of course, free - and we're giving away free WFMU swag too!
Massive thanks to Stefan and Ferdinand and everyone from Meridian23 and to Clara, Elana, Susan, Aaron and everyone from MMNY, WFMU tech guru Irene Trudel, engineer Gil Shuster, assistants Jon, Kieran and Katie, and board op Matthew!
