Klezmocracy and 3 Leg Torso visit with the Yiddish Hour
Yiddish Hour host Ed Kraus welcomes to the KBOO studios Ralph Huntley and Courtney VonDrehle from the Portland based groups Klezmocracy and 3 Leg Torso.
We'll talk about the Jewish roots of much of the music played by both ensembles, and how they "deconstruct" this material to make something entirely new and compelling.
CD's from both ensembles will be available as thank you gifts to listeners who call in a membership pledge during the Yiddish Hour.
