Adrienne Cooper, Zalmen Mlotek: Ghetto Tango
Product Description
In the Jewish ghettos of Poland and Lithuania during WWII, a world of dislocation, terror and death, cabaret music thrived. Jewish audiences gathered in makeshift clubs and theatres to hear newly-created Yiddish songs, rooted in Jewish folk and liturgical music as well as European operetta, American ragtime and Argentine tango.
Adrienne Cooper, one of the world's most acclaimed singers of Yiddish vocal music, and Zalmen Mlotek, a leading figure in Yiddish musical theatre, here present ghetto songs collected during and after the war.
