Straddling the lines of Art Song, folk music, New Music, and free jazz, their repertoire draws on myriad influences to make truly new music based on 20th- and 21st- Century Yiddish poetry. Farrell's musical sorcery is well-known to NY audiences, where during a 9-year stay in Brooklyn he earned a reputation as one of the elite accordionists of the city; Ukrainian/Israeli Kundish's revelatory soprano voice summons her extensive training in opera, Yiddish song, and Jewish cantorial repertoire; together they deliver a subtle, powerful, and passionate oeuvre. For this song, to celebrate May Day (something Patrick has done at barbes, on and off, for almost 15 years..) they sing “Di tsukunft” (“The Future”) by Morris Winchevsky. www.pattysounds.com See Patrick’s text below: “Even before I moved to Brooklyn Barbès was a musical home for me; a place that trusted me to play good music, and where I could meet friendly people when I was visiting town during the long months after Hurricane Katrina. May 1, 2007, however, was a special date: I moved into my first permanent address in Brooklyn, and that same night played Barbès’ 5th birthday show with Stagger Back Brass Band and a bunch of guest singers - a full night of workers’ songs in celebration of May Day. For quite a few years after that, May 1 was always our night at Barbès, where we celebrated another year of existence for our musical community’s home with fired-up brass arrangements of workers’ anthems from all over the world - dancing, sweating, and having a wonderful time. After hundreds of performances in that little back room over the last 15 years, those May Day shows still hold a special place in my heart. So in that spirit, Sveta and I offer one more on the theme, this time in Yiddish. “Di tsukunft” (“The Future”) is known everywhere where Yiddish Bundist songs are sung. With lyrics by committed socialist poet and publisher Morris Winchevsky, and an anonymous melody, it has been sung for well over a century from New York to Warsaw to Melbourne, an anthem of optimism and struggle. We gratefully offer our version here to celebrate Barbès 18th birthday, with heartfelt wishes that we’ll all sing together under the Hotel d’Orsay sign again soon. Patrick” O, di velt vet vern yinger, Un dos lebn, laykhter, gringer, Yeder kloger vet a zinger Vern, brider, bald. O, di velt vet vern shener, Libe greser, sine klener, Tsvishn froyen, tsvishn mener, Tsvishn land un land; O, di velt vet vern frayer, Un dos lebn gringer, nayer, Un in ir der emes tayer, Tayer vi a fraynd. O, di velt vet vern dreyster, Un es vet nit zayn kayn mayster, Nit di kroyn un nit der tayster, Nit dem zelners shverd. Alzo mutik in di reynen, In di reynen, tsu bafrayen, Tsu bafrayen un banayen Undzer alter velt! Oh, the world will become younger, And life better, easier, Every mourner will become a singer, Brother, soon. Oh, the world will become more beautiful, Love greater, hatred less Between women and men, Between nation and nation. Oh, the world will become freer, And life lighter, newer, And in it the truth precious, Precious as a friend. Oh, the world will become bolder, And there will be no more masters, Not the crown nor the wallet, Not the soldier's sword. So have courage in the ranks, In the ranks, to free, To free and make new Our old world! http://www.pattysounds.com    / pattysounds   ======================== Barbès YouTube Channel * https://tinyurl.com/BarbesYoutube Barbès Records * https://barbes.bandcamp.com/ Barbès fund * https://tinyurl.com/BarbesFund / To help us survive this storm
