Acoustic Roots was in Delft for recording and interview of Sklamberg & the Shepherds (Part 2)
The Acoustic team was this time on stage to attend the concert of Sklamberg & the Shepherds, which took place on Wednesday 7 March 2018 in the Synagogue of Delft.
They are three renowned artists of traditional East European Jewish music together:
-
Lorin Sklamberg (USA), co-founder and singer of the Klezmatics; clarinettist, accordionist, pianist, composer
Sklamberg & the Shepherds combine traditional and newly composed Yiddish and Russian songs with klezmer and south-Mediterranean music. Lorin, Polina and Merlin represent three nations although their families come from very close geographical locations. At the end of the 19th century, Merlin’s great-grandparents from Ukraine and Romania emigrated to escape from pogroms and seek a better world in Europe. Lorin’s ancestors emigrated from a small town in the Ukraine to the United States.
Broadcast from 21:00 til 23:00
