Five things that shaped Ben Rogalsky
Song: there are so many, but a couple that memorably stopped me in my tracks and sparked new explorations for years to follow; Pirate Jenny, Nina Simone singing and Canadee-i-o, Nic Jones’
Book: Hungry Listening, Dylan Robinson
Film: Latcho Drom, Tony Gatlif
Trip: In my twenties, I twice spent the better part of a year in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. I sought out, studied, and played music throughout, and made meaningful relationships with musicians and friends with whom I continued collaborating for years.
