'ONE OF THE MOST VIBRANT GENRES IN WORLD MUSIC. YIDDISH MUSIC IS THE NEW ROCK & ROLL.' The Guardian

Yalla! An infectiously entertaining mish-mosh of powerful Yiddish music hall songs and whirling klezmer and Middle Eastern dance tunes.

Marianna Moralis' impassioned vocals lead the party, driving fabulous New York Yiddish theatre songs, old world Yiddish folk songs, and cheerful singalongs; David Mowat (trumpet), Knud Stüwe (guitar) and Simon Leach (percussion) propel the joyous and sizzling arrangements with their impressive playing and enormous sense of fun.

With fantastic music, brilliant audience rapport and more than a touch of goodtime showbiz, this is a set guaranteed to raise the spirits. Sababa!
