Daniel Kahn: Radical Yiddish Bard featuring Jake Shulman-Ment — live event

Detroit-born, Hamburg-based troubadour and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Kahn and New Yorker master fiddler Jake Shulman-Ment have been playing and traveling together in various collaborations for twenty years. Drawing on Daniel and Jake's acclaimed 2023 duo album "The Building & Other Songs," their upcoming record "UMRU / unrest," as well as their long work together in The Painted Bird and Brothers Nazaroff, this intimate and powerful program ranges from original polyglot ballads, bold new treatments of modern Yiddish songs from Gebirtig to Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman, to Yiddish translations of lyricists such as Dylan, Cohen, Brecht, Springsteen, Guthrie, Waits, and more. In a time of tyranny and division, their music celebrates a groundswell of Jewish cultural diasporism, and Radical Yiddish Autonomy. Yiddish serves here as a kind of broken mirror, reflecting both despair and repair, exile and ecstasy, loss of trust and wanderlust.The Detroit-born expat troubadour’s music mixes Yiddis
