FROM THE EDITOR
From the Fall-Winter
2010 issue of Voices:
This issue of Voices
celebrates New York’s
cultural diversity across
a wide variety of genres
of folklife and folk art.
Ukrainian-American
singer and educator
Nadia Tarnawsky describes her experience
of exchanging songs with Ukrainian seniors
at the Self-Reliance Association of
American Ukrainians Senior Center in
New York City’s East Village. In “Voces
con Eco: A Sample of Writing from Mano a Mano,” readers will enjoy fresh prose pieces
and poetry in English and Spanish from a
recently published anthology, produced by
Mexican cultural nonprofit Mano a Mano,
the New York Writers Coalition, and a group
of New York’s newest Spanish-language
writers. Musician, discophile, and Irish-
American music researcher Ted McGraw
presents a preliminary report and asks Voices
readers for assistance in documenting the
fascinating history of twentieth-century
button accordions made by Italian craftsmen
and sold to the Irish market in New York.
Puja Sahney leads us into Hindu homes in
the New York metropolitan area to explore
structure, meaning, and change in domestic
altar traditions.
We remember, too, our most brilliant elders
and inspiring mentors in folk arts. Folklorist
Mick Moloney shares a portrait of one of this
year’s winners of the National Endowment
for the Arts National Heritage Award, Irish
flute master Mike Rafferty. Robert Baron,
director of the New York State Council on
the Arts Folk Arts Program, offers a personal
remembrance of the pioneering contributions
of Bess Lomax Hawes to the field of
folklore in New York State and beyond.
Also in this issue, Voices welcomes Nancy
Solomon, folklorist and executive director
of Long Island Traditions in Port Washington,
New York, whose new column, View
from the Waterfront, focuses on maritime
folklife, the environment, and vernacular
architecture. As always, we remind readers
that Voices is only as strong as the many
voices and perspectives you lend us through
your contributions. Please keep your articles,
reviews, photos, artwork, and ideas coming
our way.
