Hebrew Tangos

30.06.2024 - 19:00 / Museum of Engineering and Technology, ul. św. Wawrzyńca 15

The Polish tango is very strongly rooted in the Polish tradition. Its origins may be found in sitting rooms, theatres and cabarets, but the music immediately became popular on dance floors and with street bands. Many of the pieces remain carriers of the intangible cultural heritage of Warsaw and Poland to this day.

Over 20 Hebrew language versions of the most popular Polish tangos were written in pre-war Poland. This was the concept of the management of the largest Polish record label at the time, Syrena Electro, which in the 1930s had its own record showroom in Tel Aviv and aimed its products also at Polish-Jewish emigrants.

This repertoire will be presented by Warszawskie Combo Taneczne who will appear with an Israeli singer with a unique voice, Karen Malka. Multi-instrumentalist Boris Martzinovsky will play the accordion, one of the most important instruments in the Warsaw tradition, giving the listeners a chance to hear an old-school performance.

Tickets (N: 130 / U: 80 PLN) available at 33.jewsihfestival.pl and one hour before the concert at the entrance to the venue.

This concert is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jan Kulczyk, organized in cooperation with Ms. Dominika Kulczyk and in partnership with the Kulczyk Foundation
