Gary Sullivan has a unique view of New York and the music there — he spends a lot of time in the city's many immigrant communities, looking for the music that people are listening to.

Sullivan speaks with Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson about some of what he's found.

Note: We have a Spotify playlist and an Apple Music playlist for our weekly DJ Sessions.
