Karsten Troyke - Dus Gezang Fin Mayn Harts. Tango oyf Yiddish (2006)

"After years of waiting for a Yiddish Tango recording we did it ourselves - both proud and lucky to find an extraordinary singer, profound expert and indefatigable promoter of Yiddish language and culture in our home town Berlin. KARSTEN TROYKE's distinctive style refers to the Jewish theatre and cabaret song of the Twenties and early Thirties, and after all his art has that brightness you will not find while looking for. "

"Tango oyf Yiddish" is the subtitle of this CD. The Oriente label is a specialist for extraordinary productions, which are far from "mainstream" tango. Karsten Troyke and the Trio Scho (violin, accordion, double bass, 5 titles with additional clarinet) manage to bewitch their listeners. Enchantingly they take us to the 1920s and 1930s and to the area of Yiddish "Schlager" songs in the 1950s.
