Tangele: The Pulse of Yiddish Tango - was" Word"

[Lloica Czackis <lloicale...>]

Quite: Can't think of a word for these undefineable things, nor for tango, and 
hope they will stay there in the mist. But I can announce my show!

"Tangele: The Pulse of Yiddish Tango" - 9 November, 8pm at The Spitz, east 
London. I'll be joined by Juan Lucas Aisemberg on viola and Gustavo Beytelmann 
on piano and arrangements and will also give two talks on the history of the 
Yiddish tango.  - Visit www.lloicaczackis.com/Tangele.htm for details.

A special heartfelt GRACIAS!!! to this group's listers for their warm and 
generous help  :-)

Mit hartsike krusn

Lloica

I don't think we should translate "soul" or "swing' because I don't think it's 
what Jewish Music is about.  
I agree with Irwin that Klezmer is only part of it. But at least we could 
address that part. The rest being  less defined I think. Let's see... What's 
there in common between Yiddish theater, a Yiddish folksong written in 1880, 
and one written in 1930, and Bei Mir Bistu Shein (or Mr. Shein, as my friend 
thought it was called!) and a piece by Lazar Weiner. In Poland, and in the 
Maramures?
If there is something and we can name it, then that's the "word'.
Meanwhile I think we could probably more easily address the "word" for Klezmer. 
Something that is a perfect mix between sorrow and joy?
Is there a word for tango?
