CD SHTETL SUPERSTARS: FUNKY

Popis - SHTETL SUPERSTARS: FUNKY:
This compilation by young Jewish musicians assembled from around the world, belong to the generation that came to prominence after the klezmer revival of the 1970s. They play punk and surf rock, ska and reggae, hip-hop, latin rhythms and drum'n'bass, intentionally spicing each genre with ingredients from their own culture. You may hear klezmer references, or a quote from a classic from the era of Yiddish swing, the ambience of a Jerusalem marketplace, or a lullaby once sung to them by their grandparents. They are sung in Yiddish, shouted in Hebrew or rapped in English or Russian. Certain tracks are peppered with samples lifted from their grandparents' collections of 78-rpm records.
