TANGELE
THE PULSE OF YIDDISH TANGO (2008)
320 KBPS

Tangele is the meeting point between two powerful cultures: Yiddish song and tango. The show presents the voyage of the Yiddish tango across the continents. Original songs from the Yiddish theatre in Buenos Aires and New York during the 1930s and ‘40s and from European ghettos and concentration camps.
Tangele is a tribute to the art of surviving and reinventing oneself. Conceived by Lloica Czackis from her fascination with the Yiddish culture, the project has received support from various institutions, leading to academic lectures, publications, workshops and concert engagements in international venues and festivals: in London, Brighton, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Frankfurt, Vienna, New York, Los Angeles and Boston.
This is the first time this rediscovered repertoire is performed by musicians that come from the tradition of the tango. Lloica Czackis, a singer of classical music and Latin American folk, performs also the repertoire of cabaret of the 1930s and '40s. She is considered to be the connoisseuse of Yiddish tango around the world. Juan Lucas Aisemberg, a viola player in the Deutsche Oper, Berlin, was brought up in the tango tradition and performs internationally. Ivo De Greef is a sought after pianist of tango and contemporary music. Gustavo Beytelmann, the renowned Argentinian composer and pianist, has reinterpreted these songs music and arranged them in the manner of argentinian tango. Joëlle Rouland, French theatre director, has conceived the dramaturgy of the show.
