"There is a tremendous power in a song. It can travel in time and long distances. It is capable of spreading joy and strength against all the evil surrounding us. This is how it was in the ghetto. Even though we were hungry, uncertain of the next day and terrified, we sang, danced and recited poetry. It made us less hungry, less uncertain of the next day and less terrified. When, singing, we closed our eyes, we imagined spring-time and ourselves taking a ride on a No. 11 tram along a magnificent boulevard. Also today when, with my eyes closed, I listen to Lloica Czackis' beautiful voice, the tune and words of her songs, the memory from the ghetto comes back to me, of that feeling of joy and strength against all odds, of spring in the air. I remember, some of these we sang then, those from the ghetto, but also the pre-war cabaret songs. Listening makes it easier to think about the friends, about all those known and unknown people who were not given a chance to enjoy any more springs and pacing down boulevards. Lloica, your songs carry memories. Thank you for that." Marek Edelman (Lodz, 2008) One of the leaders of the Warsaw ghetto uprising in 1943
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. This CD, which contains several world first recordings, is their first studio reading. A project created with a JMI Millennium Award (UK) and recorded with a grant from the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah (France)
