CBS announced plans to air “Faith, Music and Culture,” an interfaith religion special beginning June 7.
The special highlights the work of
- Hasidic hip-hop artists DeScribe, Y-Love and Diwon, observant Jewish rappers with a spiritual message. I chronicled their work previously here and here.
- Brooklyn Qawwali Party, an eclectic 11-piece orchestra based in New York that specializes in the sound of Qawwali — the devotional music of Sufis, the mystical arm of Islam — with a funky jazz sensibility.
- all-male a cappella group, Anointed Voices, which formed two years ago after meeting at Christian-based The Bowery Mission in New York.
- Kirtan, the ancient Hindu practice of call-and-response chanting of Sanskrit mantras.
Looks like I’ll be watching. Let me know what you think.
