September 28, 2019: Olga Avigail Mieleszczuk's Love Affair with Yiddish Tango
Listen to this show:
Pop-up player!
Tango was all the rage in inter-war Poland. Many popular tangos were written (in Polish) by Jewish composers. But there were also Yiddish tangos: Adaptations of Polish tangos, and original Yiddish songs - including, most poignantly, some written later, during the war, in the Jewish ghettos.
Singer / accordionist / folklorist Olga Avigail Mieleszczuk collaborates with the Warsaw-based band Tango Attack to explore this repertoire on her latest album, Yiddish Tango Live in Jerusalem. She joins us to share the music and the story.
