Jordan Wax is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, and traditional musician based in New Mexico. His new album “Pantakozak and other new Yiddish Songs for Kids” features original songs written in Yiddish based on his experience presenting children’s programming in the Santa Fe Public Libraries.

For the past twenty five years Jordan Wax has studied intergenerational music traditions with elders from a variety of cultural lineages and directed his own collaborative ensembles in the context of Ashkenazi, Ozark, and Indo-Hispanic cultural revitalizations.  He performs traditional Yiddish songs and new compositions as a soloist, norteño and Central-Mexican traditions with Mariachi Sonidos del Monte and his own ensemble, Lone Piñon, and creates bilingual children’s programming that helps families and infants establish a positive context around linguistic diversity and regionalism in partnership with the Santa Fe Public Libraries.
