about
The music was composed for the production of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice by Compagnia de’ Colombari directed by Karin Coonrod and performed in the Venice Ghetto as part of its 500th anniversary in 2016, under the auspices of Ca’Foscari University of Venice. It reflects the composer’s great love for Fellini, carnival, and Nino Rota. The words, adapted by Walter Valeri, are taken from Angelo Beolco (1502 – 1542), better known by the nickname Il Ruzante, an Italian playwright known by his rustic comedies in the Pavan language, (closely related to the Venetian dialect), painting a vivid picture of life in 16th century Italy.

One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey
One of the best new albums of Yiddish and Klezmer music on Bandcamp in my opinion. The collaboration of two sensitive artists of different generations who know a lot about Yiddish and American music.
