Red Yiddish with Lorin Sklamberg - Clip 6

Lorin Sklamberg, of The Klezmatics, explores the riches of yiddish music: clip 6 of 6 - Lorin performs a work in progress, based on a Soviet film song that he discovered in the archives.

On February 15th, 2007 Yiddishkayt Los Angeles presented an exclusive evening with Lorin Sklamberg, hosted by LACE in Hollywood. In addition to being the lead singer of the grammy-winning Klezmatics, Lorin is also the Sound Archivist of the YIVO Institute of Jewish Research. The YIVO archives are the largest collection of Yiddish and Ashkenazi music in the world. In these highlights from the event, Lorin explores the impact of the archives on the remarkable Klezmer renaissance.

*Red Yiddish (speak Yiddish) celebrates contemporary Yiddish culture, and is designed for the younger yiddishist (and the young at heart).

It is lullaby. Author of music is Tikhon Khrennikov. Original words (in Russian) - A.Gladkov. Yiddish text isn't exact translation of Russian one, but the spirit of the song is kept.
