Review of Hassidic (yes, Hassidic) Reggae


This piece is about the match of a cultural and religious identity with an unlikely musical form. The interview with Matisyahu is the more compelling bit of this piece alongside his music. I love the transition from the narrator to the live music ("what happened next was) and I think it could use even less of the narrator. This piece could be shorter if cut down to the interview and music.
