Hyphenated: Music + Identity

About Hyphenated: Music + Identity

Hyphenated: Music + Identity is an audio documentary series about immigrant and second generation immigrant musicians in Europe navigating their "hyphenated" identity through their music. It's about borders and frontiers both within themselves and their music. It's been called "a musical archive of modern migration." I hope to put some light on these artists and to introduce you, the listener, to new music and perhaps new perspectives on the world. Created and produced by veteran music+film journalist Ron Deutsch. More info can be found at our website: http://www.hyphenated.eu

   Season 3 - Pre-Teaser

   Let's call this a "pre-teaser" for Season Three. I just want to let you know that I'm busy gathering and recording artists for it. And I'm looking forward to sharing these new episodes with you in the near future. The thing is though, in the first two seasons I tried to keep to a schedule of regular episodes, BUT.... I'm just not made for building schedules, and it just made for a lot of stress. But also, it's not the easiest task to corral working and touring artists to sit down for a long c...
