Re: Music of exile

[Joel Bresler <jbresler...>]

The show (if it comes together) would be on Sound and Spirit, produced by 
Ellen Kushner at Boston's WGBH for PRI. It is for general listenership, but 
can be pretty adventurous. I cannot concentrate overly on the Jewish 
tradition, since there's a lot of ground to cover and just an hour total.

African versions welcome.

Best,

Joel
