Re: Jacinta

[Bob Cohen <zaelic...>]

I just did a gig in Holland with Jacinta on the bill, and she was working
with 
our promoters in Holland,  Stichtung Kultoer in Tilburg, who are doing about 
five concerts with her in March. Info on their site www.kultoer.nl . For her 
Belgian agent, Dirk Seymus has info on his site www.link.be . She doesn't
have 
email herself, just phone and fax (she lives in France, land of no email )
She 
does, however, speak beautiful and fluent yiddish,  is quite an amazing 
stage presence, and is a wonderful person to boot. 

Incidentally, I am sitting in a cyber cafe in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, having 
just done a gig with Di Naye K in the klezmer concert series here. The Flora 
museum here has an outstanding exhibit on klezmer music, with emphasis on 
history, revival, and the growth of klezmer in Germany. I spoke with the 
curator, Paul Baumann, this morning and plans are now afoot to develope the 
exhibit into a website. They had the most complete collection of
photographs of 
klezmer bands and musicians I have ever seen. If you are cruising through the 
Ruhr rust belt north of Essen I suggest checking the Flora museum in 
Gelsenkirchen out, and checking the site of the concert and lecture series 
www.klezmerwelten.gelsenkirchen.de for info on upcoming events, including a 
lecture on Klez in Europe by Heiko Lehmann, of Sukke in Berlin, which
should be 
good. Also, there are photos from our gig already up on
http://www.klezmerwelten.de/spiegel-kapelye.htm
for those of you who collect Yankl Falk ephemerae.
