Workshop – Yiddish Song Smuggling, with Daniel Kahn
Cross borders of language, music and tradition with Daniel Kahn in a hands-on exploration of translation and adaptation
What happens when a song crosses a border – from one language, culture or musical tradition into another?
Detroit-born, Hamburg-based troubadour and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Kahn leads a workshop exploring the art of Yiddish “song smuggling,” with a focus on polyglot performance, traditional subversion, tradaptation (translation + adaptation), multi-musical mixology and other modes of border-crossing in modern Yiddish song work.
Bring your voice, your languages and your mind – and come ready to experiment. This workshop is for singers, musicians and the polyglot-curious.
Space is limited and advance registration is required.
Presented in partnership with KlezCalifornia.
