Sounding Jewish in Berlin

Klezmer Music and the Contemporary City

Beschreibung

This book tells the story of Berlin's dynamic klezmer scene, tracing the ongoing dialogue between traditional Yiddish folk music and the creativity and modern urbanity of the German capital. It reveals how contemporary klezmer has become not only a product but also a producer of the city.
