RE: Basia Frydman (was: Yiddish Tango, Jews in tango)

[Helena Hansson <helena...>]

The Basia Frydman CD is called "Farbotene Lider ojf Jiddish" and I think that 
Simon carries it. (Don't you Simon?) It contains ghetto songs, protest songs, 
and standards like Shejn vi di Levone in Yiddish, English, and Swedish. (Don't 
blame me for the transliteration, I got it from the CD. It's not European 
standard transliteration either.)
