Inspired by African American spirituals and Eastern European Jewish music, vocalist Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell and accordionist Dmitri Gaskin set out to fuse these two ancient musical idioms and create something new. Drawing on a diverse collection of folk songs, lullabies, classical and religious music, this project utilizes an array of historic genres to create songs that are authentically embedded in the sounds and histories of both traditions. Fascinating sounds exclusively for YSW goes Erfurt!
