Oyfn Weg Shteyt a Boym, Shtetl Band Amstedam and Lucette van den Berg Yiddish Village Klezmer

Shtetl Band Amsterdam is a klezmer band from the Netherlands, playing Village Klezmer.
What is Village Klezmer?
The klezmer sound produced by large ensembles with many wind players is well-known. But for centuries a different klezmer sound predominated in Eastern Europan Jewish folk music. It was a small-town, small-band sound. Having the violin's melody as its basis, this group sound is mild, rich and nuanced. Groups and musicians like Budowitz, Di Naye Kapelye, Alicia Svigals and Veretski Pass have brought this older sound back into its own place in the klezmer spectrum, and now place it on the concert stage. In its short life Shtetl Band Amsterdam has also become an inspired and much in-demand exponent of this Village Klezmer style.

Beautiful. Very nice too having mother and son perform. Hopefully mother will not be like one in song. :>)

The lyrics are sad and beautiful at the same time..I really like the tradition of story telling in songs and ballads..It is not only a lullaby, but also a way of sharing experiences with the child and thereby a form of explaining the world and mistakes to children/adults....

Thanks, for sharing this beautiful rendition of the song..I loved it..The little boy seemed a bit scared in the beginning, but he was comforted ...and relaxed a little in the end...(He is so small. Not, a bird yet...)

Oh! This is so lovely and sweet! One of the prettiest Yiddish lullabies. An excellent rendition, sung from the heart ... but the little boy seems a little nervous! Thank you so much. Dank u vell!
