Y-LOVE TO BE FEATURED IN CBS DOCUMENTARY

Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ RSTAR Publicity) - Internationally-acclaimed hip-hop activist Y-Love stars in an upcoming CBS documentary on interfaith music and culture.

"Music is often a vehicle for expressing religious faith and belief," the network said in a news release. "This broadcast looks at some modern music inspired within the varied cultures of four religions."

Y-Love, the monniker of Yitz Jordan, will be featured with Shemspeed brethren DeScribe (Schneur Hasofer) and Diwon (Erez Safar). The trio of observant or frum Jews from Brooklyn speak about their experiences and perform during the special. According to information from CBS, the show also features the Brooklyn Qawwali Party, an eclectic 11-piece orchestra based in New York that specializes in the sound of Qawwali - the devotional music of Sufis, the mystical arm of Islam - with a funky jazz sensibility; and the all-male a cappella group, Anointed Voices, which formed two years ago after meeting at Christian-based The Bowery Mission in New York. The program also spotlights Kirtan, the ancient Hindu practice of call-and-response chanting of Sanskrit mantras.

The special is produced with the cooperation of the National Council of Churches, The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, The Islamic Society of North America, The Union of Reform Judaism and the New York Board of Rabbis, CBS said.

Y-Love was recently selected by The Jewish Week as one of its '36 Under 36' (a distinguished set of young Jews making strides in the community) and ranked No 4 on JTA's 'Top 100 Most Influential Jewish Twitterers' list.
Y-Love is embarking on a global tour in support of the May 12th, 2009 release of his EP 'Change.' www.thisisbabylon.net
