Makin Waves with Arlan Feiles: 'Peace Now!'

by Bob Makin
published 2025-10-01

A winner of several Makin Waves and other awards, including Best Music Video at the recent Mesa International Film Festival, Jersey Shore singer-songwriter-producer and multi-instrumentalist Arlan Feiles has more than lived up to the potential Rock and Roll Hall of Fame producer Tom Dowd saw in him as he helmed what was intended to be his major label debut for Island Records. Instead, Arlan has produced and released six critically acclaimed albums on his own notpop records, including his latest and most challenging LP, "Diaspora," a chronicle of the hardships the Jewish community has had to endure. Like many of its predecessors, "Diaspora" landed on the Euro Americana Charts, reaching No. 5. That industry-oriented chart has been a boon to Arlan's career overseas, as has Netherlands-based booking agent Lucky Dice Music, which annually lands him shows also in Belgium and Germany, where the Holocaust-reflective "Diaspora" has been an inspiration.



Illuminating doc Chœurs Atlantiques screens at the Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, October 3!

There is an idea within the current political sphere, mostly among the right-wing, that we shouldn’t talk about slavery. This idea is supported by such talking points as “we don’t want white kids to feel bad for being white” or “this only matters to black people". For example, the French government had, a few decades ago, created the slogan, “We were all born in 1848”, the year they abolished slavery. To people like Emmanuel Gordien, it implied that slavery never existed. However, the horrors of the past will not stay silent. Safoi Babana-Hampton’s Chœurs Atlantiques | Tales from the Atlantic Beyond is a tribute to the victims of slavery that, in the words of Gordien, “Find all our ancestors,  understand all their history… and finally, to honor them”.
