JMI Archive on BBC Radio 3

On Saturday 15 November, BBC Radio 3’s Music Planet took listeners on a unique journey into the JMI archives with Israeli DJ and producer Tai Rona.

After days immersed in thousands of rare records and shellacs, Tai created a deep listening set from JMI’s rare collection which he performed live at our Archive Launch event at Stone Nest in May. For the The Jewish Music Institute archive in Three Tracks BBC Show, he selected three remarkable gems: a haunting Sabbath prayer, an evocative Yemeni field recording, and a cross-cultural lullaby.

Presented by Lopa Kothari and produced by Gabriel Francis (Reduced Listening), this episode of Music Planet is available to stream on BBC Sounds until 20 December – don’t miss this deep and remarkable dive into Jewish musical heritage.
