A Mazeldiker Yid

by Di Naye Kapelye

This recording developed over a period of several years, during which Di Naye Kapelye have continued scrambling around East Europe looking for contexts and traces of Jewish music, a good half century after the Holocaust nearly destroyed Europe's Jewish population and culture. There are still Jewish communities in East Europe and in the memories of this aging population lives a sense of Jewish culture - Yiddishkeit - that developed strong local expressions of faith and music. Furthermore, the memory of Jewish culture is often maintained by non-Jews, those who choose to cherish the legacy of neighbors lost but not forgotten. Recorded in Budapest August 2001 and includes a 20 paged booklet with text in English, French and German.
