Klezmischpoche
Oifn Jorid
"Oifn Jorid" - On the Market - is a life recording of Berlin based Klezmischpoche´s
second klez revue. "Oifn Jorid" wants to tell us about manifold life in a
"schtetl", a small jiddishe township somewhere in eastern Europe. We hear about
everyday´s joy and sorrow, about a young girl´s lovesickness as well as about a young
love´s delight, about an old woman´s memories of long ago youth. We see an attempt
in vain of baking homentaschn, being nothing else than black afterwards, we´re
sitting in the pub, singing drinking songs and complaining about the landlord´s
samowar, which actually should contain some tea ... We see Rebbe dancing, we
see a potter and a tailor, and suddenly we are in the middle of a group of
workmen, being on strike for better working conditions and better payment.
Oifn Jorid is one of the most close and excellent description of jewish life
and culture. This no party music ... just music to listen to - and think about.
Klezmischpoche´s musical home is the "Labsaal" in Berlin-Lübars. It has
roughly 20-30 members, all amateurs - except for three, the "Duo Fundevogel"
and Harry Timmermann, clarinet player of "Harry´s Freilach". Besides "Masl tov",
Oifn Jorid is Klezmischpoche´s second klez revue.
