Kolberg po żydowsku

6 March 2020 – Shabbat is almost here

Enjoy with Polish Jewish music from the work Kolberg po żydowsku, by Foundation Muzyka Odnaleziona, after research by Andrzej Bieńkowski. 

Some Music Before Shabbats ago (specifically in this one) I mentioned the album Kolberg po żydowsku, that collects the recordings made by Andrzej Bieńkowski from old musicians who learnt the pieces from Jewish neighbourgs, played in Jewish weddings or listened Jewish bands in their youth. The oldest recording is from 1986.

I have chosen the wild piece that opens the album: Taniec żydowski. This piece was recording in 1992 in the village of Jasionowo, that belongs to Powiat Suwalski (Northeast of Poland, near the border with Lithuania. The musicians are Franciszek Racis (born in 1922), first violin, Sylwester Jaśkiewicz, second violin, and Zbigniew Racis in the bębenek drum.

This album has been a present from Janusz Prusinowski, to who I am very grateful, who participates in the album too, in the second part, where a younger generation of musicians play pieces known as Jewish, learnt from their masters.

Shabbat Shalom.

The piece Polka Żydóweczka Frajda was learnt by Janusz Prusinowski and his Kompania from the recording made by Andrzej Bieńkowski (Foundation Muzyka Odnaleziona), played by the group Kapela Dudkow, from Lublin region.
