Pour la première fois à Paris

Vendredi 2 mai à 19h30

Originaire de Kharkov (Ukraine), Zhenya Lopatnik est l’une des principaux auteurs compositeurs de chansons yiddish. Son répertoire est joué dans tous les festivals internationaux de musique yiddish et klezmer. Zhenya Lopatnik nous dit : « Les musiciens klezmer des shtetls d’autrefois ne sont plus. Mais il y a de nouveaux klezmers aujourd’hui dont la musique apporte du bonheur au public. La culture n’existe que quand elle vit. Aujourd’hui encore, on respire en yiddish, on écrit de nouvelles chansons en yiddish, on danse en yiddish… Non, la culture yiddish n’est pas un musée ! ». Ce concert est l’occasion de sentir et comprendre que la culture et la musique des Juifs d’Europe de l’Est sont toujours vivantes.

Pour découvrir Zhenya Lopatnik : ici et là.
