Gypsy Sound System and Pandemic
@ brillobox 4104 penn ave pittsburgh pa
Saturday Nov 10 at 10pm
Gypsy Sound System:::
Gypsy sound system The gypsy sound system began in 2005 from the meeting between Dj Olga and Dr.Schnaps.From this moment, gypsy parties have taken a new turn. More fire , more happiness, more sounds.This sound system is a mixture between elctrogypsy , raggaklezmer, balkanicfire, orientaltriphop, indiandrumandbass, spanishrumba populardrunksongs.This is not only 2 people, this is a whisper of life that use wild winds to get in every hearts who want to be free in a fly of dance .Dj Olga and Dr.Schnaps are now turning in all Europe and other part of this beautiful mother earth. Passing by Roma, London, Paris, Antwerpen, Lyon, Barcelona , Grenada, Krakow,New York, Boston, Madrid, Copenhagen, Goteborg, Portland, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago,.. Bringing each time the same fire.
Dj Olga : Young polish diva riding a flying bike or a traktor sound system with a mic and exotic hat. She brings the fire in the freezing winter nights with gypsies sounds and adds some winds of vocal chant on special tunes. Using traditional and new east flukt, she takes the crowd in a travel through time and gypsy story in a so magic way that people don't know the next day if it was dream or reality.
Dr.schnaps : This is the name that the time and experiences gave to this young medecine herbs ( Dr.) and vine (Schnaps) producer .Bacchus descendant, he passed his first twenty years in bottle to get matured. When the bottle was opened, music and scream of happiness flew from inside that his mission is definitely to make dance people on evil fire sounds from india to spain. Banished son of Yvette Horner, you can recognize him because of his huge pilositity in which he falls sometimes when he begins to dance. The crowd know the next day that it was the best madness nightmare they've never had and ask for more
If you are a fan of Michael Wex (which is to say, if you have ever met him, heard him speak, or read his previous best-seller), and you live in Toronto, you will be quite pleased to know that the new book, Just say nu is out.

Multilingual Jewish Literature and Multicultural America
Jewish American literature has long been, and continues to be, a multilingual
enterprise, with significant work published in at least six languages
(English, Spanish, Ladino, German, Yiddish, and Hebrew). The literary study of
Jewish American writing, however, has been overwhelmingly defined by an
English-only approach unable to encompass its diversity, or to locate that diversity in
the multilingual and multicultural landscape of American literature as a whole.
The conference, “Multilingual Jewish Literature and Multicultural America,”
will survey the field of multilingual Jewish American literature and the new
methodological approaches that are needed, we believe, to sustain and
reinvigorate the academic study of this literature.

Espace Rachi . Divan du Monde . Café de la danse
Samedi 10 Novembre à Espace Rachi 20h45
Estelle Goldfarb et Dj Click
électro-klezmer-oriental
Violoniste à l'énergie rock, Estelle Goldfarb allie fougue, mélancolie slave et sensualité orientale. Elle a multiplié les collaborations avec SoCalled, Matisyahu, David Krakauer... Elle entame aujourd'hui une collaboration avec DJ ClicK, Le chineur de sons traditionnels venus des Balkans et des quatre coins du monde. Tous deux se retrouvent sur scène pour un set explosif où fusionnent mélodies klezmer et balkaniques, sonorités orientales beat électroniques.
www.estellegoldfarb.com
Manguina
mélodies judéo-espagnol
Manguina signifie mélodie en hébreu. On y retrouve toute la fougue des rythmes klezmer et la nostalgie des mélodies yiddish qui font revivre un monde perdu.
Par leurs compositions tendance jazz, et les chants qu'ils interprètent en judéo- espagnol, ils donnent à ce grand voyage musical du " yiddishland au sefarland ", des accents originaux.
http://www.manguina.net/index2.htm
Le Festival Jazz'n'Klezmer à lieu depuis 5 ans à l'Espace Rachi. On y a vu des jazzmen devenus incontournables (Yaron Herman, Alexandre Saada..), côtoyer les meilleurs groupes klezmer (Klezmatics, Klezmer Nova…).
En 2007, Jazz'n'klezmer sort de l'espace et du temps ... Pour que les publics se rencontrent.
Cette année, nous avons bousculé les dates, afin d'offrir les meilleurs artistes, en programmant hors des dates du festival :
SOCALLED se produira en avant première le 23 Octobre au DIVAN DU MONDE et David KRAKAUER clôturera le Festival le 2 Décembre à l'ESPACE RACHI. Certains concerts auront lieu dans des salles parisiennes, au Café de la danse au Divan du monde.
Cette année, le festival s'entoure de collaborateurs (Le label JuMu, Nu Juwish Music, Balagan Box l'émission des musiques juives actuelles sur Radio Shalom) et de nouveaux partenaires (FIP et Mondomix).

Dr Ruth Rubin dedicated her life to preserving Yiddish folk songs. Over the course of her career, Rubin collected some 2,000 songs from generations of people who had grown up in a flourishing Yiddish-speaking environment that was mostly ruined by Nazi annihilation and Stalinist repression. This collection is based on a manuscript that Rubin was unable to publish before her death, with additional annotation and commentary provided by noted music scholars Chana Mlotek and Mark Slobin.
Hankus Netsky is the founder and director of the internationally renowned Klezmer Conservatory Band. He has composed extensively for film and television and has collaborated with such artists as Itzhak Perlman, Robin Williams, Joel Grey and Theodore Bikel.
Cindy Marshall's documentary "A Life of Song: A Portrait of Ruth
Rubin" was the winner of the Columbus Film Festival's Chris Bronze
Award. Highlights of the film include archival photos of Jewish life in
Eastern Europe and footage of Dr Rubin - in her eighties- gathering
songs from older Jewish folks in Montreal and educating young people
about Yiddish folk songs and their importance to Jewish life.
Mark Slobin is a professor of music at Wesleyan University and a scholar of Jewish and Central European music. He is the author of "Tenement Songs: Popular Music of the Jewish Immigrants" and "Exploring the Klezmer World.

A Shirtwaist Tale
A Shirtwaist Tale tells the true story of 30,000 young, mostly Jewish, immigrant women that changed the face of the labor movement by striking for better wages and shorter hours in 1909. Oakland playwright Judith Offer teams up with renowned composer Arkadi Serper to restage this delightful musical seven years after its initial debut. Accompanied by an onstage klezmer band, this vital document of the immigrant history is not to be missed.

Why is Wex so funny? I blame it on Alberta, or at least the Calgary Hebrew Day School, which we both attended (me for just a few early years, insufficient for an adequate humor education, in the early 1960s). [ari]

électro-klezmer
Une bande de jeunes Toulousains s'inventent des racines klezmer et trafiquent leur passé imaginaire à coup d'effets dub. La sorcellerie sonore du reggae sur tempo quasi ska et une clarinette qui danse le klezmer cassoulet ! (texte by Rkk Nova). Distillant les prestations et la fièvre autour de Toulouse, Anakronic Electro Orkestra fait sa première en mars à Paris au Nouveau Casino. Étonné, éberlué, le public n'a pas mis longtemps pour accrocher et entrer dans la danse.

The Graduate Program in Folklore & Folklife, the Jewish Studies Program, and the Middle East Center invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Dina Roginsky on Monday, November 12, at 5 p.m. A reception will immediately follow the talk.
Dr. Dina Roginsky, University of Toronto
“Authentic Folklorism: Israeli Folk Dancing in Israel and in America”
Monday, November 12, 5 p.m.
Moose Room, 3619 Locust Walk (Fiji House), University of Pennsylvania
A reception will immediately follow the lecture
The Israeli folk dance movement was established in the early 1940s by Jewish initiators in Palestine, as a modern tradition of a national invented folklore. Yet, Israeli folk dances were exported abroad right after their first creation, by the national Israeli Folk Dance Section that managed the field. Due to successful efforts made by Zionist organizations both in Israel and in the States, Israeli folk dancing became a popular leisure activity in America. However, apart from the organized institutional side of Israeli folk dancing activities in America, Israeli folk dance instructors who immigrated to the States began to operate on a privatized basis. Whereas in the 1950s and 1960s they focused their activities solely on Israeli folk dance instruction, from the 1970s they also have began to create “Israeli folk dances” in America, introducing them both to the local Jewish American dancing community and exporting them back to Israel. This development inflamed a severe debate between the institutional departments and the Israeli-American initiators. In this lecture, Dr. Dina Roginsky will discuss this issue, analyzing different attitudes presented by varied actors in the field. Ownership, representation, authenticity, and geographical-cultural borders of national products are the core themes of this debate.
Dr. Dina Roginsky received a Ph.D. in Sociology and Anthropology and an M.A. in Psychology from Tel Aviv Universityand completed a post-doctoral research in the Department of Performance Studies at New York University. Currently, she is the Posen Fellow in the Jewish Studies Program and the Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto, and teaches special topics in modern Israeli culture and society.

La musique de Cellie est émouvante et nous apaise autant que les textes qu'elle chante en français, swahili, anglais, créole et en yiddish. D'origine cubaine, juive polonaise, guinéenne et libanaise, elle a grandi dans la petite Jérusalem, à Sarcelles. Comme si toutes ses origines la comblaient... et nous avec.

Margot Leverett et Monique Lansdorp
klezmer-country
Margotte Leverett et son Klezmer Mountain Boys s'intéressent aux affinités communes entre la country et le klezmer. La base instrumentale de ces deux genres est semblable, ces deux musiques parlent de l'âme, celle d'un peuple. C'est surtout ce dialogue qui a intéressé Margot Leverett. Une expérience d'ouverture qui fait tout le sel de cette musique de fusion.

New Yiddish Dance Class at NY's 92 St. Y presented by Center for Traditional Music and Dance and the 92 St. Y.
CTMD announces a new partnership with Manhattan's 92 St Y to offer a series of Yiddish dance classes beginning in September led by Walter Zev Feldman and other master dance leaders.
Building on our monthly Tantshoyz (dance house) series at the JCC in Manhattan, the 92 St. Y classes will provide intermediate and advanced dancers with a more in-depth opportunity to explore classic Yiddish and coterritorial dances such as the sher, hora/zhok, freylekhs, honga, hora moldavaneasca and bulgar. Special focus will also be given to the expressive power and gestures of solo dance. Classes will feature live klezmer music performed by Jake Shulman-Ment on violin and Pete Rushefsky on tsimbl (hammered dulcimer).
Eight, three-hour sessions will be held on the following Sundays, from 2PM-5PM: September 30, October 21, November 18, January 20, February 17, March 30, April 27, and June 1. Cost for the series is $250 (interested participants must register for the entire series). To register or for more information, go to the 92nd St. Y website or call Pete Rushefsky at 212-571-1555 ext. 36 or email Pete.
And stay tuned for information about a new season of Tantshoyzen and a December 9 Symposium at NYU entitled Defining Yiddish Dance: Sacred, Secular, Borrowed and Transformed.
The Center for Traditional Music and Dance's Yiddish Dance Project is supported by the Forward Association, the New York State Council on the Arts Division of Folk Arts and public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

Chagall and The Apples
Cargo London, 83 Rivington Street, Shoreditch, London EC2A 3AY
Doors open 7.30pm. Tickets £8 in advance from jcclondon.org.uk or 0207 431 9866. £10 on the door.
An electro-acoustic club night featuring funk, jazz, scratch band The Apples, and new live music / live animation Chagall Illuminated.
The Apples who sold out and ripped up the Jazz's Café earlier this year in their first London visit The Apples are a nine-strong group hailing from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, who weave big band jazz into raw funk rhythm patterns and scratch routines. Their live performances have audiences dancing and laughing from the opening beat. Into the mix they throw anything from Ray Charles samples to traditional Jewish Klezmer melodies.
In Chagall Illuminated, animators, including BAFTA-award winning Asaf Agranat and Kelly Budge (Your mum), unleash a landscape in which the Stetl in Vitebsk morphs into a rainbow hued metropolis populated with floating lovers and falling fiddlers, while donkeys, dogs and cats somersault across rooftops and Marc himself juggles birth, death, revolution, the enlightenment, biblical visions, pogroms, poverty and redemption over our heads. Underscoring and improvising this landscape is the new music: LIVE: Max Reinhardt (laptop and gizmos) and Tamar Osbourn (clarinets and soprano sax) plus virtual additions from Steve Reich, Lemez Lovas (Oi Va Voi) and Ben Mandelson.
This event is standing-only and is part of the London Jazz Festival.
Produced by YaD Arts for the JCC London

The Klez Dispensers are juicy, fresh and daring. Audiences can't get enough of their exciting performances, impeccable arrangements and versatile improvisations. The band's repertoire includes classic klezmer, Yiddish swing and original compositions. Their sensitive blend of old world and downtown appeals to all generations.
The Klez Dispensers were called one of the 2007 Montreal International Jazz Festival's "Best of the Fest." The band has crammed their sound into New York nooks such as Satalla, Makor, Tonic, and CBGB's, filled Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park and Cape May's music festival, and lent their joyful noise to countless celebrations and festivals. Several members of The Klez Dispensers are "graduates" of KlezKanada's Scholarship Program and are now beloved members of the KlezKanada faculty.
"I will go out on a limb and state that this band, The Klez Dispensers, is the finest young group playing classic American klezmer style that I have heard, both individually and collectively." Pete Sokolow, klezmer legend
The Klez Dispensers brings together an amazing line-up of musicians. Formed in 1998, the band is an eight-piece ensemble comprising clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, violin, piano, bass, drums and vocals. The internationally acclaimed Susan Watts (vocals, trumpet) represents the youngest generation of a klezmer dynasty that reaches back to the Jewish Ukraine of the 19th century. Alex Kontorovich (clarinet, alto and baritone sax) is one of the young rising stars on the NYC and international klezmer and jazz scenes. Ben Holmes (trumpet) is a Brooklyn-based trumpeter who performs regularly with many ensembles. Amy Zakar (violin, mandolin) is a second-generation musician from New York City. She is versed in classical, folk, and jazz as well as klezmer. Audrey Betsy Wright (alto and tenor sax, clarinet) plays nearly every genre of music on her saxophones, clarinet, and flute. Hailing from Austrailia, Adrian Banner (piano) is a performer, composer, and arranger in a wide variety of musical styles. Heather Chriscaden Versace (bass) is active as a bassist, music theory instructor, private lesson instructor, and clinician. She has performed throughout the U.S., Japan, and Colombia. Gregg Mervine (drums) is a freelancer with klezmer, jazz, gypsy, avant-garde, and latin bands between Philadelphia and New York.

In addition to traditional Chassidic melodies, there are also modern works by Matt Darriau (Klezmatics) and Bill Averbach (Austin Klezmorim), and by Sylke Rollig/Burton Greene included in Burton's arrangements. Nine of the compositions have already been recorded on a CD (BVHAAST CD 1205). Klezmokum combines originally Jewish music with Jazz and spontaneous improvisations, resulting in surprising modern music that retains the original atmosphere.
