Traditional Crossroads TCRO 807 024 305-2

Five of the top musicians on the international klezmer scene have joined
forces to create music that engages the experience and spirit of Jewish
women.  Combining historical and new Yiddish and English songs with ecstatic
klezmer melodies, Mikveh presents Jewish music through the prism of women's
lives -- from exuberant celebrations of fertility, work, a daughter's bas
mitsveh, and forbidden love, to the quiet grief of miscarriage and the
spirit of the Friday night table.
Produced by Lorin Sklamberg & Harold Hagopian.
Includes: "Royz royz," "Heart of the World," "Sorele's Bas Mitsveh," "A gutn
ovnt Brayne," "Borsht," "Gas nign," "Vos vet zayn," "Di fayerdike libe/Ay ay
