WBGO Celebrates New Jersey House with 'Black House Black Joy' Podcast

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Aug 16, 2023

New Jersey has a long history with House music. The sound originated in and around Newark in the 1980s, with Club Zanzibar being the hotspot for the developing genre on the dancefloor. A new podcast from WBGO, Black House Black Joy, traces the history of New Jersey House and speaks to some of the artists who were front and center in the movement, like Kym Mazelle. Jamara Wakefield, WBGO Digital Content Producer, joins us to discuss the podcast and take your calls.
