Turn the Tide

The crowd who came for the hip-hop may not have known exactly which limbs to move when Airto came forward to play his pandeiro — a tambourinelike instrument he causes to sound like a wild animal — and spit his inimitable percussive vocals into the mike, but standing on this packed dance floor near enough to see the sweat on his brow was thrill enough for those who cared. And while Purim was not in the best setting to showcase her impossibly pure soprano, the sight of her daughter kneeling at her feet as she sang was a tableau vivant that spoke volumes about what it means to pass living, morphing music down through generations. (Judith Lewis)
