YIDDISH SILVER SCREEN זילבערנער קינאָ (Zilberne Kino) has dropped! Our latest album celebrates our 25th Anniversary with a reawakened repertoire inspired by forgotten vintage film soundtracks.
NYC based ISLE of KLEZBOS sextet approaches Yiddish musical traditions with loving irreverence and profound respect. The soulful, fun-loving powerhouse all women's klezmer sextet has toured from Vienna to Vancouver since 1998. Performing neo-folkloric tunes, re-grooved standards, and genre-transcending originals, the ensemble's gorgeous arrangements range from rambunctious to swinging to ethereal.
