| Tangele explores the fascinating nexus of Yiddish song and Tango and features songs from European Ghettos and Concentration Camps, and from the Yiddish Theatre in Buenos Aires and New York, radically transformed into the language of Tango by the renowned composer/arranger Gustavo Beytelmann. Together since 2002, this virtuosic trio has been presenting this delightful program, created by singer Lloica Czackis to enthusiastic audiences all over the world and now they have entered the studio for a perfect reading of their repertoire. Tzadik is proud to present this distinctive project, created with a JMI Millennium Award (UK) and recorded with a grant from the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah (France.) | ||
