Di Naye Kapelye goes 50ies-socialism? Well, this isn’t positively a CD featuring the uprising towards a communist society. After a lot of hunting the indefatigable fieldworker Bob Cohen researched a socialist build-up song in yiddish - the scrumptious “Traktorist”, praising not only the traktor itself and the five-year plan performance, but also, if not to say mainly, the bigger chances of a tractor driver to hit on the girls.
Again, Di Naye Kapelye reaffirms her outstanding role regarding Jewish music from the Carpathian Basin - authentic, rough and tender, danceable and soaked with a deep and true love for the heritage that’s treasured by these passioned musicians ever since we can remember. Affectionate and high percentage.
