Josh Levine: News

In July I led workshops on Latin music at Libraries in Lee County, Florida. Participants sang, danced and played fundamental rhythmic patterns like clave, martillo and tumbao.

Thank you Lee County!

I`ve been in Mexico since Labor day, heading back to NYC on Friday, Sept. 14th. I flew in to Mexico CIty with my good friend Ian MacDonald and from there made a stop in Toluca (not recommended -- nothing to do there) and then went on to San Miguel de Allende and Guanjuato, where I am now.
I bumped into an old colleague from the Family Academy here who`s giving weeklong African dance workshops here in Guanajuato and then starting again Monday in San Miguel de Allende. I always wanted to take his classes when I saw him teaching and saw the kids` performances, and told him so at the time. Now I`m going to take advantage of this opportunity and learn something really cool. I`m excited!

The May, 2007 issue of Parenting Magazine inculdes Josh Levine For Kids in its Parenting Picks:

"This gaggle of sing-along faves mixes Spanish songs with English classics ("Wheels on the Bus"), rendered in Levine's Latin-jazzy approach. Best download: "A Place in the Choir."

Mary Ann Miller interviewed me on her WBAI radio show today. She played cuts from Josh Levine for Kids and we talked about making music for kids and the over seven crowd.

Following a successful audition for Hospital Audiences, Inc., my trio is performing at hospitals all over New York.

It will soon be available at Buy Buy Baby!

Kenny Kozol and I made our radio debut as a music for kids duo on WXOJ in Florence, MA. The show went really well and we played to a packed house at the Cup and Top Cafe in Florence afterwards.
My whole family was there -- Jess, Joe, Elijah, Mom and Dad -- plus lots of friends. Thanks to everyone who came! We hope to return to the Cup and Top soon.

Josh Levine for Kids is now available on i-tunes and several other digital distribution sites.

I hope you'll check out these short video clips of Son Amigos live at Orbit and Los Acustilocos live at the 92nd St. Y
