Michael Wex Book Launch, Toronto, Canada, Oct 29, 2007
If you are a fan of Michael Wex (which is to say, if you have ever met him, heard him speak, or read his previous best-seller), and you live in Toronto, you will be quite pleased to know that the new book, Just say nu is out. It's available at Pages and fine bookstores everywhere. The launch party is going to be this coming Monday night at one of Queen St.'s great reformed hotels (unless you were one of the indigent people who could afford the SRO that it used to be), the Gladstone, 7:30-10:30pm. It's FREE.
The reading is sponsored by Pages—it's part of their "This is not a reading" series which presents writers and artists with new books. Even if you don't want the book, don't want the autograph, it's still worth showing up because Wex is so damn funny.
Why is Wex so funny? I blame it on Alberta, or at least the Calgary Hebrew Day School, which we both attended (me for just a few early years, insufficient for an adequate humor education, in the early 1960s). [ari]

Programma 28 oktober 2007
Di Fidl-Kapelye
126 snaren, samen in een klezmerband, waren in vroeger tijden heel gewoon: van oudsher vormden een paar violen, een cimbaal en een contrabas samen de band van het dorp. Tegenwoordig zie je dit zelden meer en al helemaal niet in een bezetting van louter vrouwen. Di Fidl-Kapelye uit Amsterdam vormen hierop een uitzondering. De 4 snaren virtuozen hebben verschillende muzikale achtergronden: klassieke muziek, pop en barok, om er maar een paar te noemen. Door de jaren heen deed de groep vele klezmer festivals aan (Weimar, NYC Workmens Circle, Hackesches Hof Theater Berlijn, Internationaal Joods Festival Amsterdam) en werkte met musici als Alan Bern, Michael Alpert en Frank London van de Klezmatics.
'Trumpets for strings'
Oorspronkelijk voerde Di Fidl-Kapelye voornamelijk traditioneel repertoire uit, onder meer te horen op de eerste cd 'Live in Amsterdam'. Hun vele contacten en verschillende muzikale interesses inspireerden hen de horizon te verbreden. Het idee ontstond om trompet spelende componisten te vragen nieuwe klezmermuziek te schrijven voor de strijkersband. De nieuwe stukken, gecomponeerd door Frank London (Klezmatics), Gijs Levelt (Amsterdam Klezmer Band), Job Chajes (Amsterdam Klezmer Band), Susan Watts (Mikveh) and Eve Monzingo (Chicago Klezmer Ensemble) hebben op de cd elk hun traditionele tegenhanger. Zo speelt de band in dit nieuwe programma dus oude en nieuwe nummers in een concert!
Di Fidl-Kapelye is:
Viool: Madelien Verheij-Schelp en Jiska ter Bals
Cimbaal: Pit Hermans
Contrabas: Jet Stevens
'Di Fidl-Kapelye are an ensemble that is fresh and creative, yet thoroughly rooted in the best of the klezmer tradition.' (Deborah Strauss)
'They are clearly hewing their own sound from these sources. And it works, oh does it work... If you have a chance to catch these folks live (you lucky Europeans), you should.' (Ronan Tsimbler/Roger Reid)
'I love listening to Di Fidl-Kapelye! The lyricism and vitality of the Yiddish string kapelye is alive and well again, not to mention some pretty fearsome estrogen-driven musicianship!' (Alan Bern)
Lucette van den Berg performs Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman, NYC, Oct 28, 2007

In preperation of this program, Lucette stayed for a while a Beyle's place, working with her and talking about her music. She received 16 brand new songs, in wich traditional themes like nature and love are interwoven with modern themes about the city of New York. Happiness, sadness, stillnes and exuberant spheres will interchange in beautifull and unconventional arrangements This combined with Lucettes warm, colourfull voice and intimate interpretation, will be a unforgetable experience.

Kabbalah propose un spectacle qui s’articule autour des nouvelles musiques juives et s’inspire de la tradition klezmer tout en intégrant des influences actuelles : rock, afro-américaine, orientale…
Depuis sa formation en 2004 à Marseille, les cinq membres de Kabbalah ont constitué un répertoire original qui sait mettre en valeur les orientations musicales et culturelles de chaque musicien (les échos des chants traditionnels hassidiques répondent aux spoken word et les climats obsessionnels évoquent la transe et le mysticisme) et leurs talents respectifs : une palette sonore d’une grande richesse musicale où la virtuosité est convoquée à chaque instant ; l’extraordinaire profusion d’instruments (saxophones, violon, contrebasse, xylophone, mandoluth, percussions ), de langues (anglais, yiddish, russe) chantées, parlées permet l’expression d’un style coloré propre à Kabbalah. Leur album « Shlomo » est une pure réussite et rarement métissage n’a été plus convaincant.

"If Lauryn Hill, Bob Marley, and Shlomo Carlebach had reared a love child, they might have ended up with a nice Jewish girl by the name of Chana Rothman. "We Can Rise" is the latest CD from this up-and-coming singer and songwriter. Rothman's music is an amalgam of traditions—the self expression of folk music, the prayers of Judaism, and the classic emergy of hip-hop—all brought together in one clear and encouraging voice…. Although her music is about herself, it is for something much larger than herself."—The Observer, Yeshiva University

SoCalled
hip hop yiddish
SoCalled est le fondateur du hip hop klezmer. Ce nouveau style mélange l'esprit Yiddish, le rap, le jazz, l'électro, la funk et le rock. Agitateur patenté, " l'échantilloneur " Josh Dolgin souffle un courant d'air frais sur la musique juive. Avec sa manière innée de plaquer un chant traditionnel hassidique sur un breakbeat old school, SoCalled emporte le morceau. Le résultat est dansant, décoiffant, déroutant.

Two great Israeli bands on one bill: Teapacks with their song Push the Button was Israels entry for the Eurovision contest.

Rami Yosifov Guitar & vocals
Moti Yosephe Drums
Noaam Yankelevitch Keyboards, accordion & vocals

Izabos music has been described as a Brilliant, action packed combination of Psychedelic Rock, Disco, Punk and Arabic spices, or, if we are to name-drop, like an unlikely cross between Led Zeppelin, the Talking Heads, and Om Koltom.
Spinning between sets is dj handler, the founder and director of Shemspeed, Modular Moods, an independent record label, and the Sephardic Music Festival. As the brains behind Modular Moods and many of the hyped parties in and around NYC, dj handler defies musical stereotypes.
