Passover 2025: Brother Moses Smote the Water

A Song-a-Day Series from The Klezmatics x Joshua Nelson

This Passover, we don’t just tell the story of liberation —
we sing it. Loud. Unapologetically. In harmony and defiance.

From April 12–22, we’re revisiting Brother Moses Smote the Water, the groundbreaking live album from The Klezmatics and gospel powerhouse Joshua Nelson, through a powerful daily journey of music, memory, and meaning.

Each day, we share a different track from the album — with reflections that speak to this moment:
🔊 Klezmer meets gospel
🔥 Exile meets protest
🎤 Tradition meets uprising

This is more than nostalgia. It’s a call. A groove. A prayer. A promise.
Because the Exodus isn’t over. Because freedom isn’t real if it’s not for everyone.

We’ll close the series on April 22 — Real Liberation Day — with a song and a vision for the world we’re still building.

Explore the series below, listen on all platforms, and join us July 8 for “Gospel Meets Klezmer” live in New York City.
Help fund the next Klezmatics x Joshua Nelson album — and keep the fire going.
