WELCOME TO NEW ORLEANS! (Meet Me On The Funky Side Of Town)

DJ NEVA

In a career spanning more than 30 years, DJ Neva has been actively involved in management, booking, promotion and production of a long list of local, national and international artists. She has produced countless events, concert series, workshops and educational programs. Her current focus is the artistic development of bands and musicians she deeply believes in, through guidance, advocacy, studio production and promotional support.

DJ Neva grew up in New York City and formally studied piano and voice at the Greenwich House Music School and the Hebrew Arts School for Music and Dance, as well as private instruction. She earned her B.S. in Ethnomusicology in 1978, and her M.A. in Latin American & Caribbean Studies/Ethnomusicology in 1987.

She spent the decade of the 1980s producing some of the first reggae concerts in New York City; conducting field research in Central America and the Caribbean, and organizing first-time U.S. tours for a number of musicians she met along the way. When she re-settled in New York in 1990, she brought her extensive knowledge and love of World Music to the airwaves - producing "Continental Drift" on WBAI-FM, which continued weekly for five years.

In 2004, DJ Neva joined forces with legendary radio personality Al Angeloro to co-produce his world-renowned program, "New York International," on Haitian community radio station Radio Soleil (www.radiosoleil.com). Their program continues to broadcast live every Wednesday and Friday from 12 midnight to 4 am Sat. (EST).

DJ Neva specializes in music from the entire African continent, as well as the Caribbean & Latin America; the Maghreb & Middle East, and the Roma (Gypsy) diaspora. She is currently featured DJ for live world music events, and performs regularly with locally-based international artists. She has performed at the Angel Orensanz Foundation, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM Café, 651 Arts, Harvey Theatre), the Brooklyn Museum, Central Park SummerStage, Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing, Meridian 23, NJPAC’s Sounds of the City, SOB's, Drom, Joe's Pub, the Knitting Factory, the Lion's Den/Sullivan Hall, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and many other notable venues and festivals for both public and private events.
