Detroit-born, Hamburg-based troubadour and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Kahn, New Yorker master fiddler Jake Shulman-Ment, and legendary klezmer percussionist Richie Barshay have been playing and traveling together in various collaborations for twenty years. Drawing on Daniel and Jakes acclaimed 2023 duo album The Building & Other Songs,as well as their long work together in both The Painted Bird and Brothers Nazaroff, this intimate and powerful program ranges from original polyglot ballads, radical treatments of modern Yiddish songs from Gebirtig to Schaechter-Gottesman to new Yiddish translations of lyricists such as Dylan, Cohen, Brecht, Springsteen, Guthrie, Waits, and more. Yiddish serves here as a kind of broken mirror, reflecting both despair and repair, exile and ecstasy, loss of trust and wanderlust.
