I can think of one other contemporary Puerto Rican Jewish artist: David Powers aka D.O.V. (http://www.myspace.com/dialogofvision). He and his gf (a Peruvian Jewess) Elisha Zeitler aka DJ Wave host parties and art showcases in Brooklyn under the umbrella co. titled, Verbal Graffiti (http://www.verbalgraffiticulture.com/). Elisha is also a phenomenal multi-media artist and djembe player to boot (she’s a graduate of Manhattanville; D.O.V. graduated from SUNY Purchase). I’m hoping they get to play the Sephardic Jewish Festival (I’ve all ready connected them with Erez). I’d love to read what they have to say about their cross-cultural identification in an interview=)

On a completely different note, I wish I had commented on this post earlier. You always seem to have an interesting take; whereas I always seem to forget to fully answer the questions. Hope Chi-town is treating you well. Peace.

ps I checked out your blog, you are a phenomenal writer
