Melanie Burgos grew up singing in church in Fair Haven. Now you can hear her inpublic in New Haven — and that makes you lucky.
Burgos took Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelujah” and made it her own during a visit Tuesday night to the WNHH studio during our 36-hour “Great Give” radiothon.
Burgos works for the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, one of the hundreds of not-for-profits raising money during the Community Foundation’s annual “Great Give” fundraising competition. She will sing at one of the festival’s May 30 “pop up” mini-fests back in her Fair Haven neighborhood.
Click on the video to watch and listen to an unfortgettable homegrown talent.
And please consider donating to the International Festival, to WNHH (here), and to other not-for-profits through the “Great Give” at this website.
(The WNHH radiothon is sponsored by Atticus Cafe/Chabaso Bakery.)
So beautiful. Thank you, Melanie!
