In 2004 I had the opportunity to interview King Django who discusses his album Roots and Culture which include a song about his grandfather’s experiences during the Holocaust and original Yiddish compositions. He discusses his youth in Brooklyn, getting into reggae and ska, and how a trip to KlezKamp, the Klezmatics, novelist Michael Wex and more inspired his music. This interview is one of the many oldies I am uploading for posterity.
