OUR MISSION
The Mission of New York Folklore is to encourage and amplify the diverse folk cultural expressions of New York and of all its residents through education, support, and outreach.
New York Folklore Covid-19 Relief Fund
New York Folklore is raising money to benefit the “New York State Folklore Covid-19 Relief Fund.” Your donations will make an impact. We hope to raise $10,000 by June 1, 2020 to assist folk and traditional artists with emergency grants.
The Initiative:
With the money raised, New York Folklore is awarding one-time grants of up to $500 to New York State’s folk, traditional and community-based artists impacted by Covid-19. Grants will help with specific short term financial needs (food, assistance with medical bills, rent, etc).
Please join me today by donating to our emergency fund. Donate HERE https://www.gofundme.com/f/ny-folklore-covid

Thank you Assiz & Saboor! Your music is so heartwarming ~ thank you for keeping your culture alive here in the States and enriching the culture of the US!! <3
Assiz was a featured artist in the CityLore "What We Bring: New Immigrant Gifts" exhibition in 2018. It is wonderful to hear just what he brought from the Pakistani spiritual music tradition, and how that tradition will carry on in the next generation with Saboor. Thank you for this presentation.
The music is so great that it made me start dancing, all alone (except for our dog) in the back yard.
Thanks so much to both musicians and to Ellen and Chris!
I'm glad I didn't miss this wonderful performance. I wish th musicians could hear our applause!
Almost as good as live---would love to see and hear them in person!
Wonderful music/singing!
Very happy to be here for this presentation!
This is beautiful!
Do Assiz and Saboor have and recordings that we can purchase?
Pilar from New Mexico is here.

Wonderful program! Thank you gentlemen! May these hard times turn around very soon!
Thank you Christopher and Assiz and Saboor! This made my day!
Yes, Thank you ALL, especially New York Folklore.
Coming in late to this, but thanks to NY Folklore, BAC, Chris, and the amazing musicians!
Years ago there was a NYSCA supported program called "Families of New Yorkers" that celebrated and presented families of artists. It would be great to do a repeat of this now - several years later. There have been more than a few families highlighted in our May 2020 program.
Thank you everyone for attending and thanks to Chris and the Brooklyn Arts Council for doing such a great job managing the technology! And thank you to Assiz and Saboor for a wonderful performance.
Excellent! Thank you.
Beautiful to see their relationship.
