Hanna Darroll introduces us to Chanese Elifé, a queer vocalist and musician based in Washington Heights who can play over 50 instruments. Despite others pressuring Chanese to change her musical style and even her sexuality, she has remained true to herself.

Dancing in the Dark

Onomatopoeia: Sounds like New York is a podcast about the people and places of New York City. In season 1, we see a psychic, do yoga in the park, tour the city on a boat and eat Russian dumplings in Brighton Beach. We’ll hear from a guy who plays at a showtunes-only piano bar, a lesbian priest who just moved to the city, a drag queen who teaches preschool, a master tap dancer, and more.
