On this episode of New Sounds, we offer up international music performed by ensembles living in New York City. Highlights include music by James Nyoraku Schlefer, a performer and teacher of the Japanese bamboo flute known as the shakuhachi; Glen Velez, who created a musical style inspired by both Western percussion and frame drum performance styles from around the world - the Egyptian riq, the Irish bodhran, and the North African tar; Pachora, a Balkan-inspired jazz quartet that blends Near Eastern melodies with modern American music, plus works by Les Miserables Brass Band, ne-ne and much more.
