New release: KROKE LOUD SILENCE
Kroke's twelfth album on Oriente also marks the 35th stage anniversary of the band, which has always retained its irrepressible desire to make music. The new album proves it: the familiar resounds, the new flows in, the meditative alternates with the dance-like, all held together by the fascinating ability of these three musicians to find melodies and to inspire each other again and again to improvisational flights of fancy..
Available on vinyl from Oct 20
New Release: Nem Mayn Vort
In their debut album as a duo, stars of the Yiddish and klezmer musical world Sveta Kundish & Patrick Farrell present a triptych dedicated to three brilliant Yiddish poets: Rivka Basman Ben-Hayim, Celia Dropkin, and Avrom Reyzen.
Kundish & Farrell are bringing an entirely new perspective to the world of Yiddish music with their fierce focus on both text and musical composition, their equal dedication to traditional and contemporary musical practice, and their rare virtuosity as performers.
New release: Daniel Kahn solo
Word Beggar is the first album that Daniel recorded completely by himself. Musically it moves between folk, jazz and klezmer. It consists of adaptations and settings of songs and texts by Georges Brassens, Kadye Molodovsky, Mordechai Gebirtig, Kurt Tucholsky, Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman and Aaron Zeitlin. Among them are his Yiddish versions of Bob Dylan songs and Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".
