Nathan "Prince" Nazaroff – Jewish 'Freilach' Songs

Nathan Nazaroff was a Jewish musician born in Odessa (now Ukraine) and came to the U.S. in 1914 . He appeared with the Russian Bal-let Theater at the old Palace in New York. The tradition of his style is as old as Odessa and other ports where the street musician is "the life of the party" especially at dances and weddings.

"Freilach" is a Yiddish expression that means "happy" or "cheerful," and is commonly used to refer to a form of music. On Jewish Freilach Songs, Nathan "Prince" Nazaroff sings classic Jewish folk songs from Eastern Europe―such as the well-known "Tumbalalaika" and "Vander Ich Mir Lustig" (While I'm Happily Walking), with its very familiar melody - accompanying himself on the accordion and the octofone (a mandolin-like string instrument).
