Strange Tongue / Mistame-Loshn is an exuberant and irreverent entanglement with Yiddish protest music, love songs, and anthems. It’s queer, trans antifolk music that is informed by klezmer and Romanian dance. It’s totally bilingual and an amazing gateway into a defiant tradition of survival and solidarity. Raucous and intimate in turns, this music makes as much space for joy as it does for grief. It's what I need right now and it might be what you need too.
Featuring members of NYC’s rad-trad klezmer scene—including violinist Zoë Aqua, bassist Zoë Guigueno, vocalist Eléonore Weill, drummer David Licht of the Klezmatics and Bongwater, trombonist Daniel Blacksberg, and Lorin Sklamberg of the Klezmatics who did vocal production on the album.
