Taína Asili, a dynamic New York-based Puerto Rican singer, composer, interdisciplinary artist, and educator carrying on the tradition of her ancestors, fusing past and present struggles into one soulful and defiant voice. She is celebrated by NPR, Rolling Stone, and Billboard for her soulful, genre-blending music echoing calls for love and liberation. With powerful vocals and a multi-genre fusion traversing salsa, rock, reggaeton, Afrobeat, and other global sounds, Asili’s music is both unique and deeply rooted. Accompanied by her brilliant ensemble, she delivers energetic performances at diverse venues nationwide – from iconic stages such as Carnegie Hall with Toshi Reagon, to renowned festivals like the main stage of San Francisco Pride, to historic events like The Women’s March on Washington, to numerous colleges and conferences – inspiring audiences to dance to the heartbeat of social change.

She joins us on the show to share about the inspiration and motivation for her upcoming 150 mile walk from Albany to NYC for Climate Justice. She'll be arriving in Kingston on Sept. 16th, walking through the Sojourner Truth State Park, and stopping at the Kingston Point Beach at approximately 3:30 PM for a song offering. She'll likely arrive in the park around 2:30 if you want to join in the walk to the beach. The next day, on Sept. 17th they will perform their new climate justice multimedia show Fever Pitch at Unicorn Bar. Then on the morning of the 18th they'll be at the Red Fox Ravine in Kingston for a song offering and continuing on their walk to New Paltz.

Midway through the journey, she will sail from Newburgh to Haverstraw (9/21) aboard the historic Clearwater. The pilgrimage will then continue on foot into New York City, culminating during New York Climate Week with a final performance of the walk at UPROSE in Brooklyn (9/26).

The Fever Pitch Pilgrimage is supported by a growing list of sponsors and partners including grassroots organizations, artists, and community leaders. A GoFundMe campaign and sponsorship drive are currently underway to support artist fees, accommodations, and free/sliding scale performances throughout the route.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

Our show music is from Shana Falana!
