about

Ismail Butera’s accordion taxim opens into a folk melody known in myriad
forms from Bosnia to Bangladesh. Much of this tune comes from the popular Turkish song “Kâtibim,” set in the scenic Üsküdar section of Istanbul. Fiery klezmer clarinet legend Naftule Brandwein recorded this as a lively terkisher (syncopated dance instrumental) in the 1920’s, providing more of an inspiration for us than the novelty pop hit released decades later by Eartha Kitt as “Usku Dara.”

Recorded in concert at Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts, April 2013: Metropolitan Klezmer

In Der Heym

One of the best new albums of Yiddish and Klezmer music on Bandcamp in my opinion. The collaboration of two sensitive artists of different generations who know a lot about Yiddish and American music. dcarkner

One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey
