Description:
When Eastern European Jews immigrated en masse to the United States in the 1880s and '90s fleeing Czarist oppression and poverty, they brought with them a body of secular folk songs. Sung in Yiddish by men and women who came here from five villages (with English translations and explanations), this recording archives a lost way of life.
