Yair Dalal & Lenka Lichtenberg
Lullabies from Exile (CD)

MGD91

Lullabies From Exile is a collaboration between two dear friends, Yair Dalal and Lenka Lichtenberg, that explores an astonishing range of emotional, cultural and historical dynamics and traditions. This stunning album is comprised of eight two-song medleys and two stand-alone songs, many of which were among the very first songs these two world-renowned artists of the Jewish diaspora heard as babies. They were sung by extraordinary mothers who endured remarkable journeys simply to be able to give birth to their children; Baghdad-born emigre to Israel Simcha Dalal, and Prague-born Holocaust survivor Renee Freisova. For the Jewish nation that has known much suffering, lullabies are often yearnings for better times. They are confessions of sadness and maternal frustration, disillusionment and broken dreams, often sung by mothers in states of complete exhaustion yet always with great love for their children.
The Lullabies From Exile collaboration was born before a joint concert in Kosice, Slovakia, when Lichtenberg played the album’s opening lullaby, ‘Yankele’ for Dalal to see if he could accompany her on oud. Soon, Dalal was playing an Iraqi lullaby from his childhood that connected to Lichtenberg’s Yiddish song with a remarkably natural intuition. And the idea of uniting the world’s oldest continuous Jewish tradition of Babylonia together with Ashkenazi European Jewry — two branches of the same tree that grew in separate directions, from the deserts of the Middle East to the frozen north of Europe, for more than two mllennia — was born. While most of these lullabies are in Judeo-Iraqi Arabic and Yiddish, the concept grew to include songs in Czech, Slovak and Hebrew in order to reflect the artists’ personal histories; as well as English to acknowledge the experience of the English-speaking diaspora. The journey of selecting traditional lullabies, recording them on three continents over two years, and weaving them into the medleys and capturing their essence on recording has been long and at times challenging; yet always guided by love for the music and an enduring friendship. It could not have happened any other way. And now, we invite you to allow yourself to be both soothed and awakened by Lullabies From Exile.
