Pan-Transylvanian Dance Party
About this Event
Come move your feet to the Hungarian and Jewish dance music of Transylvania. Jake Shulman-Ment and his powerful musicianship leads Életfa Hungarian Folk, with its irrepressible joy. There's no better way to start the Yiddish New York festival.
The evening starts with Saints and Sinners, singing mostly songs from the 1960s-80s with a unique ukele-forward panache. We welcome you to enjoy the vibrant hospitality of Jimi Gureje's Art Cafe.
Expect the unexpected. Hungarian dance fanatics will mix with the young Yiddish revival crowd, mixing with your local Nigerian bar owner. We will do this to support each other. You'll have a chance to learn about a Jewish cemetary in Transylvania that needs some love, local civic groups like PHNDC and Raul's multi-decade effort to save and promote Downtown Brooklyn's abolitionist history. It will truly be a unique night.
...and prepare yourself for some fiddle fireworks designed guaranteed to make you dance.
