The World Music Institute (WMI) season officially launches with New York's Slavic Soul Party and Copenhagen's Mames Babegenush channeling East European village band traditions Tuesday August 27th at the Mercury Lounge. But there's also a great pre-season concert Sunday afternoon the 25th: Saraswathi Ranganathan performs on the South Indian veena, precursor of the sitar, at the glorious Hudson Valley sculpture park, Storm King Art Center.

Saraswathi and mridangam (percussion) accompanist Ganapathi Ranganathan join us along with WMI's new Artistic Director Brian Keigher, who introduces music from around the world that WMI will bring to venues around NYC this fall.

Organizations supporting the rights of immigrants and refugees:

(For more suggestions see https://www.bustle.com/p/9-immigration-organizations-to-donate-to-if-you-want-to-support-daca-recipients-80757.)

National Immigration Law Center: Established in 1979, the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) is one of the leading organizations in the U.S. exclusively dedicated to defending and advancing the rights of low-income immigrants.

National Immigration Forum: The National Immigration Forum is one of the leading immigrant advocacy organizations in the country, with a mission to advocate for the value of immigrants and immigration to the nation.

New York Immigration Coalition: The New York Immigration Coalition aims to achieve a fairer and more just society that values the contributions of immigrants and extends opportunity to all. The NYIC promotes immigrants’ full civic participation, fosters their leadership, and provides a unified voice and a vehicle for collective action for New York’s diverse immigrant communities.

Arab American Family Support Center (New York City): The Arab-American Family Support Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-sectarian organization that provides culturally and linguistically sensitive services to immigrant communities throughout New York City.

Action NYC: ActionNYC connects New Yorkers to free, safe immigration legal help. You can make an appointment to learn your immigration legal options and get immigration application assistance. There are ActionNYC sites in all five boroughs. Appointments are required. Your appointment will be in your language.

Immigration Equality is the leading LGBTQ immigrant rights organization in the country. It provide s advice and legal services to thousands of LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants seeking refuge, fair treatment, and freedom in the United States. The work is truly lifesaving because there are nearly 80 countries around the world where it is a crime to be LGBTQ, with consequences up to and including the death penalty. For this reason, Immigration Equality fights to obtain asylum in the United States for LGBTQ and HIV-positive refugees - with a remarkable 99% win rate.

Kids in Need of Defense (KIND): KIND serves as the leading organization for the protection of children who enter the US immigration system alone and strives to ensure that no such child appears in immigration court without representation. We achieve fundamental fairness through high-quality legal representation and by advancing the child's best interests, safety and well-being.

Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF): AALDEF is a national organization that protects and promotes the civil rights of Asian Americans by combining litigation, advocacy, education, and community organizing. Issues / focus include immigrant rights, civic participation and voting rights, economic justice for workers, language access to services, educational equity, housing and environmental justice, and the elimination of anti-Asian violence, police misconduct, and human trafficking.

@hip@6:06, I know it's a little busy on the left-hand side but it shouldn't be THAT hard to find! Look for "This Week's Playlist" above the calendar and below the image. I only see 2 things listed so far -- presumably it was Juco Chaves?

According to Storm King's calendar, they have a monarch butterfly event at 1PM and then the concert. Admission to the site is $18, which I assumes includes the concert at 2PM. They offer a bus shuttle service from the Beacon station on the Metro North rail line.

Yes, admission includes the concert, thanks Ken!

Thank you @Ike & @ chresti. I can't see today's playlist or any link to it (?), Still not such a big problem. I'm gonna check your suggestion @Ike, it might be him. Hi # chresti, no, it wasn't the intro but the 1st or 2nd song that sounded today. Enjoying the program before I fall asleep (after midnight here).
