Bernstein’s Diaspora Projects explore the far-flung worlds of Hebrew music as it bubbles up in unlikely contexts. Diaspora Soul digs in to “the Gulf Coast sound encompassing Texas and Cuba,” to produce New Orleans R&B and Afro-Cuban-influenced arrangements of traditional cantorials, Ashkenazi wedding songs, and more.
