Karsten Troyke & Trio Scho
Dus Gezang Fin Mayn Harts - Tango of Yiddish (CD)

RIENCD59

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 does not care so much about where the tango originally comes from. His distinctive style refers to the Jewish theatre and cabaret song of the Twenties and early Thirties just as to the renaissance of the Yiddish "Schlager" in the Fifties, and after all his art has that brightness you will not find while searching it.
