In case you missed KFAR’s May 16 concert by ESTA, WBEZ 91.5FM rebroadcast a 30 minute excerpt of Israel’s most original instrumental band on the Radio M program this past week. Our thanks to Tony Sarabia at Chicago Public Radio and Eric Butkus of Record the World for making this possible. Click on the logo to stream the broadcast.
The show leads off with a tribute on the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn with appearances by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and others. Those familiar with the Renewal movement’s melody for “Kol Neshama Te’hallelya” will recognize the melody in this broadcast as his “Allahu.” It also features “Dung Gate” Rabbinical School Dropouts who appear @ Empty Bottle Aug 19 and a special shoutout to KFAR for its work. The show playlist and segment breakdown is here.
I love this site, so thank you
