Re: Tangos in Yiddish

[Tina Fruehauf <fruehauf...>]

Dear Lloica,

I do have a lot of information for you, both about Yiddish Tangos and the
fusion of Jewish elements into Tango.

You might want to start with the CD set "Beyond recall," where you will find
a couple of Tangos
http://www.andante.com/magazine/article.cfm?id=16862

In addition to that, you can look into the CD "Ghetto Tango."

I have sheet music of a tango in Spanish & Yiddish, "Vilst mich
zvingen ich zol dich leibn" "Me obligas que te ame". On the back page of the
sheet music there appear the titles of several
other tangos:

1. ¿Dónde está tu sonrisa? Vi iz dain shmeilech?
2. En silencio sufriré  -  Ich vil laiden in der shtil
3. Triste alegría  -  Far menschen bin ich freilech

There is also a bunch of literature in Spanish about that. I especially
recommend the book about Jews in Tango by Julio Nudler.

For detailed information, please contact me off list.

Tina
