This playlist is brought to you by DJ Punky Drew. “In lieu of the upcoming holiday called Passover I have curated a playlist which helps tell the story and illuminate its general themes/ sentiments. As you listen you may pick up on themes of freedom, god, resting, mourning, revenge (aka plagues) and springtime. I wanted songs that were directly related to Passover but also ones that embodied the general time of year that this special holiday occurs during. As you listen I hope it makes you think about the story of passover and feel the springtime vibes. Enjoy the tunes and different genres within this wacky, unconventional Passover mix!”
