THIS WEEK’S SUNDAY SIMCHA ~ May 10, 2020 ~ 16 Iyar, 5780
In our seventh program prerecorded from our home studios as all but a handful of WMNF staff are able to enter the station during Florida’s Stay-At-Home Executive Order, we will celebrate women on this Mothers Day. You’ll meet Marla Leigh Goldstein — internationally recognized frame drummer — as our guest for a discussion of the inspiration and the process behind her new CD. It is officially being released this Friday, May 15th, and we’ll share several selections from this distinctive CD that was made in Israel almost entirely with ancient percussion, string, and wind instruments.
The spectacular video for the title song, Rhythms of Tof Miriam, along with the entire recording, were produced in Israel late last year. The video is approaching nearly 6,000 views in only one week since its premiere May 1st. Check it out for a sneak peak of Marla’s music at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf6KM7UY8Zw.

This Sunday’s program also includes a wide range of music celebrating our mothers, including recordings by Nachum Peterseil, 11 Acorn Lane, Yaffa Yarkoni, Noa (Achinoam Nini), and Sophie Tucker. You’ll also hear a newly recorded live performance of Hatikvah in Amsterdam by Marc Wielart and Eduardo Paredes with a deeply moving story behind it.
