Daniel Kahn & The Pained Bird
The Broken Tongue (CD)

RIENCD73

A Detroit area native, Daniel Kahn attended the University of Michigan where he studied acting, directing, playwriting and poetry. After finishing his studies he lived, played music, recorded, acted, directed plays and composed theatre music in New Orleans, Detroit, New York and Ann Arbor.
In summer 2005 Daniel moved to Berlin, and, within a very short space of time, became an integral part of the city’s folk and klezmer scene, playing in different groups and musical projects. As a corollary, he soon formed his own band, featuring a rotating roster of some of Berlin and New Yorks best young Klezmer and Balkan players.
“The Painted Bird” concocts a mixture of Klezmer, radical Yiddish song, political cabaret and punk folk, kept together by Kahn’s amazing abilities both as a songwriter and a performer; telling stories of outrageous incidents, poetically dark, tragically humorous and politically incorrect.
This is a re-issue of PAINTED BIRD’S furious debut album from 2006.
