Vanya Zhuk and heavy mensches: Psychedelic Russian punk klezmer

 Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments




Klezmer is a big part of Moscow's growing world and roots music scene. But Vanya Zhuk's band Nayekhovichi stands apart with its rock and roll sound and spirit. Vanya's music combines traditional and original Yiddish and Russian songs with psychedlia, punk and lots more. Vanya crossed the pond along with fellow Muscovite Garik Bagdagyulyan for the annual Jet Lag Russian roots & rock festival in upstate NY, and a gig at Barbes in Park Slope on Sunday July 6th. And they team up with an all-star trio of NY/NJ-based klez-rockers for a raucous one-of-a-kind FMU session tonight.

The lineup:

Vanya Zhuk - lead vocal, guitar
Frank London - trumpet, keyboard
Dmitri Zisl Slepovitch - clarinet
Allen Watsky - guitar, bass
Garik Bagdagyulyan - drums, vocal

Massive thanks to Engineer Gil Shuster and assistant Matt Warwick!

Nice Eclectic Mix Man
  6:30pm doca:

Hey, Rob! Great soccer track! I was thinking about "translating" this song tomorrow on my translations blog, nice to hear it here.
  6:30pm doca:

Jorge Ben's "Camisa 10 da Gávea" and "Fio Maravilha" are also soccer-related (the most soccer-related songwriter in Brazilian history eheh)
Avatar 6:34pm Chris Echo:

great tracks!! Love it
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:37pm Rob W:

Hey Doca! Well in fact, those two Jorge Ben tracks you mention are on the same comp I took the Chico Buarque song from, Musica de Futebol on Mr Bongo, a UK label. Actually Ponta de Lanco Africana is on that comp too.
  6:40pm doca:

I'll check it, Rob, for my World Cup special! There's a famous Skank track also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ie4oL17Nwc
