MAZL & BROKHE: YIDDISH SONG

‘One of the most vibrant genres in world music. Yiddish music is the new rock & roll.’ The Guardian

Exciting and entertaining, Chai For All plays Old World Yiddish folk, New World Yiddish theatre songs and jazz-tinged klezmer. A magnificent musical journey from the haunted Eastern European shtetls, through the dimly-lit basement bars of tango-crazed Buenos Aires, to the vibrant neighbourhoods of swinging New York.

Impassioned female vocals lead the party, joyously backed by trumpet, guitar and percussion. With fantastic music, brilliant audience rapport and more than a touch of goodtime showbiz, this is a set guaranteed to raise the spirits.

Marianna Moralis: vocals
David Mowat: trumpet
Knud Stüwe: guitar
Simon Leach / Brendan Hockey: percussion
