‘HAVANA NAGILAH’ & MORE
The Hip Hop Hoodíos, four bilingual musicians from Latino-Jewish backgrounds — “hoodío” is a twist on the Spanish word for “Jew,” judio — perform their blend of alternative rock and rap in Spanish and English. Fronted by Josué Noriego, the group includes Federico Fong of the Mexican rock band Jaguares on bass and drums; Abraham Velez on guitar, bass and vocals, and El Gato Escoces on guitar. The band’s debut album, “Raza Hoodia,” features songs such as “Havana Nagilah” and “Ocho Kandelikas.”

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
