    new americans? there is no less than two hundred years of history of "latin americans" in new york. NO less than three hundred years in other parts of the country. and there it has been more than 500 years since the spanish conquest. who is NEW?

    Michelle, you're missing the point. The series is called "New Americans" because it celebrates the music of people who have come to our country from elsewhere. There have been South Americans in the US for a long time, as you point out, but THESE particular Argentine and Brazilian musicians have only recently come here and have made great contributions. The series, which encompasses a lot of WNYC shows, demonstrates that immigration is still going on and is still shaping our culture. All of the composers on this particular show are "New Americans." Well, except for Astor, who I guess you'd have to say is a "late New American."

Things With Strings

New Sounds

Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this edition of New Sounds, hear new music for strings, including music from Andrew Bird, whose little-known companion album of adventurous instrumentals called “Useless Creatures” incorporates West African rhythms and showcases his multi-layered violin loops.

New Sounds Essentials: World Music

New Sounds

Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
New Sounds presents another night of recommended recordings, this time in the “world music” vein. Hear selections by the Algeria-born and San Francisco-based DJ Cheb I Sabbah, Ethiopian soul singer Mahmoud Ahmed, and others.

Away From Jazz

New Sounds

airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this New Sounds, get a load of jazz musicians stepping away from the jazz tradition. There's music from punkass jazz melody-makers Gutbucket off of their latest release, "A Modest Proposal." Also, we'll hear from the latest by Matthew Shipp, called "Harmony and Abyss" and much more.

In Robert Moran's Kitchen

New Sounds

From October 30, 1989, the infamous "cooking show" with composer/raconteur Robert Moran. Recorded while cooking an Indian dinner in John Schaefer's kitchen, for reasons still not entirely clear. Along the way, we hear an "acoustic" version of Cage's 0:00 - for amplification of chopping vegetables and blender. And don't miss the teary conversation as onions are chopped. View the the recipes.
