Dmitri Slepovitch is an ethnomusicologist, author, educator, composer and musician - leader of the klezmer bands Litvakus and Minsker Kapelye. If anyone knows about Litvak musical traditions - klezmer and Yiddish music from Lithuania and Belarus and the vicinity - it's Dmitri. In fact he wrote the book on it - Traditional Jewish Music in Eastern Europe. The book is in Russian though... So, we've invited Dmitri to FMU tonight to translate the story into English, illustrating with lots of recorded examples from his extensive collection.
Litvakus has three gigs coming up this summer:
Tuesday June 11th at The Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, 30 West 68th St., Manhattan (part of their ongoing klezmer concert series)
Friday June 14th at Temple B'Nai Abraham, 300 East Northfield Road Livingston, NJ
Tuesday July 2nd at the The Way Station, 683 Washington Ave., Prospect Heights, Brooklyn

This cd is accompanied by a 46 page book designed and created by Ivan 'Muertos' Dribas, a talented computer and video game artist. "The Locals" is the result of more than a decade of research undertaken by Dmitri Slepovitch and Nina Stepanskaya, In fact, this is the first ever album based specifically on the musical tradition of the Litvaks.

- informative & enriching. ...I'm back here in small-town North New England (New Hampshire) where I'm from - & I'm not sure it's always generally acknowledged how many Poles & other ethnicities settled up here w/ the French & English & such! (If you go to some cemeteries, there is the evidence.) ...I know that growing up here - I would sometimes hear Polka - somewhere! - must have been a local radio station! - & when & where does one hear Polka *now* - ?!? Perhaps it is different in NYC... | |
