The family and I just got back from a rockin' concert by Dan Zanes and Friends at Strathmore Hall. Besides playing such favorites as Wabash Cannonball, House Party Time, and All Around the Kitchen, Zanes announced his new album Nueva York!, which will be available in June. Styled a "pro-immigration" album, Nueva York! is a collaboration celebrating the rich variety of Latino music in New York City, where Zanes is based. Zanes' offhand anecdote about listening to Pete Seeger at an anti-war rally in Brooklyn left no doubt as to where his politics lie, but kids and parents of any political background cannot fail to enjoy Zanes' infectious brand of family-friendly folk rock.
