BRIVELE (Maia Brown & Stefanie Brendler): Radikales Jiddisches Folk-Duo aus Seattle, USA
Brown und Brendler beleben die jiddische antifaschistische Musiktradition. Anti-Authoritäre Satire trifft auf tiefe Trauer und den scharfen politischen Humor des jiddischen Folks- und Theaterlieds. Dieses Brivele (Briefchen) ist eine Korrespondenz zwischen den Kämpfer*innen von Gestern und Morgen.
--
Brivele is a Seattle-based ensemble who braid together Yiddish song, anti-fascist and labor balladry, folk-punk, and contemporary rabble-rousing in stirring vocal harmony.
In Yiddish, Brivele (בריוועלע) means "little letter." Like letters, songs travel — through time and over borders. They pick up dirt, aromas, fingerprints. They are sent to lovers, they foment revolution, they get stolen and censored, burned and salvaged, sewn into our clothes.
We journey into the archives of Yiddish anti-fascist musical tradition, bringing together anti-authoritarian satire, mournful remembrances, and the disguised political commentary in folk ditties and theater classics. These songs are a correspondence: our ancestors' voices speak clearly and uncompromisingly, sometimes sweetly, to our present moment.
