TANGO IN YIDDISH

[fleamistress]

Yeah, the trumpet player was notable too to say the least. The rest of you I've run into before.;-)

[FearlessDreamer3]

@fleamistress Pam Fleming here! -Wow, thanks for the compliment! It is my first time seeing this video. It was well put together, and sounds good! That was a fun concert on the Hudson with Metropolitan Klezmer.

[evesicular]

p.s. See our video of another Yiddish tango too: Metropolitan Klezmer plays SHPIL DU FIDL SHPIL (onstage Drom NYC) on own YouTube page for our bands, click my page for this. Pam plays trumpet there too, with Debra Kreisberg on both clarinet & sax; same Ismail Butera accordion, Dave Hofstra bass, Michael Hess violin, Eve Sicular drums, w/our new vocalist & trombonist. Deborah Karpel sings Muzikalisher Tango here. All on our "Surprising Finds" and "Traveling Show" releases: CDBaby, iTunes, Amazon

and yes indeed, that's Pam Fleming on trumpet! She's been in Metropolitan Klezmer since 1995 (plus our Isle of Klezbos all-gal sextet since 1998). And we've released this track on our CDs as "Muzikalisher Tango" & an encore "Shadkhn Tango" too. Our guest trombonist is J. Walter Hawkes who gives his appreciation below; and it's all in the credits in our orig YouTube posting at my page here! Happy Hanukah y'all.

[FearlessDreamer3]

@Herbydakiffa Hi there! Yes, I am That Pam!

[Herbydakiffa]

@FearlessDreamer3 Really nice! So you actually famous!^^... And thank god, I got an autogramm of you before you turn to famous, and it is to difficult (or expensive) visiting your audiences!

Actually I have seen you twice, once in the REPUBLIC and once in the JAZZ IT BAR in Salzburg, Probably you'll remember the Jazz it-conert, I've screamed "Pam, you rock"!...

(I was quite drunk)

Will you be in Salzburg again?

Gran video, buena musica...bellísimoooo...quien hablo de nazis no manchar este hermoso video con basura...

[feb30thh]

does anyone know the name of this song?

[bertskoi]

The Jewish immigrants to Buenos Aires in the 1880's, 1890's, 1900's, along with other ethnic minorities, contributed GREATLY to the development & evolution of el "Tango Argentino" with their tearful, heartfelt ballads, their happy klezmers and other E. European musical styles that they brought with them. They disproportionately contributed both in musicianship as well as in authoring lyrics & song of many of the greatest tangos ever written. Unfortunately, many do not know this today.

[art2liv4]

There is a book, Tango judío : del ghetto a la milonga (by Julio Nudler, Editorial Sudamericana, 1998) about just this subject. I think a lot of the soulfulness of tango came from the Jews, just as a lot of its rhythm and dance has African roots.

[Shadowycrafter]

Bueno, es obvio que Argentina es el país en toda Sudamérica que tiene más judíos. Lo que es raro porque también fue en Argentina donde se refugiaron muchos nazis.

[justasoul16]

This should make Argentina very special. It must be a nice place to live and a tolerant one.

[alalbavincerovincero]

Yes and no. Argentina is a kind of place where you can make a ton of money if you arrive with very little and are smart enough to handle it well. And in those days, only musicians could understand each other since there were people with so many different languages, imagine, Italians, Jews from different countries, Spanish, Irish. They only understood each other when they made music!

[justasoul16]

:-).

Music is the language of the soul. I think all human beings undestand the language of love, the language of happiness, the language of sadness etc. :)

thanks for the reply.

[alalbavincerovincero]

Yes but not only the language of the soul. Music is Math. Only check harmony and contrapunctus and so (my english is horrible, sorry), so it makes sense that people that knew musical math well (compass, rhythm, harmonics and so on) by heart, by ear or by school, could understand each other without the language limitation.

[bandoneones]

Los felicto, bien bien bien

Guille de Argentina

[barbos111]

This is great! When was the jazz in Yiddish filmed? Was it some kind of a festival?

I'll come to New York just to see it!

Thank you!

[evesicular]

This is a re-posting of my band, Metropolitan Klezmer's, own YouTube spot. We have four up now, google "Muzikalisher Tango" for full info on this one. Our CDs are widely available, and this is on several (also known as the "Shadkhn Tango"). This montage is also a sample of my YIDDISH CELLULOID CLOSET film lecture project. I'm the drummer and bandleader. We made this video in July '06 at NYC's 'Summer on the Hudson' at Riverside Park South.
