Jewish Tango Cabaret

I've always loved moodiness and romanticism of Tango and am fascinated by the intersection of Tango and Yiddish music. Here's an upcoming performance that, as usual, is MMFH (Many Miles From Here). Go if you can.

From their website

TANGO FOR THREE PRESENTS :JEWISH TANGO CABARET-JCC AT MILKEN -22622 VANOWEN ST -CA 91307
Saturday - May 13, 2006

"JEWISH TANGO CABARET The Exciting Saga of the Jewish Expression of Love, Danger, Yearning and Life through Tango Music and Dance in Argentina, Europe and Israel. A special retrospective on a unique half-century in Jewish history, recreated for this musical play by Tango For Three: Daniel D. Noemi D. and Teresa G., Dance; Pablo Goldstein (music) and Rabi Arnold Kopikis (history). Jewish Tango Cabaret show is a perfect combination of dance, music and theatre. Mounted on a staged cabaret, illustrates the growth of tango music from the outskirts of Buenos Aires, to Europe and New York's Yiddishe Theater, and demonstrates how Jewish musicians put their own stamp on the musical form and used tango as a means to alleviate pain and suffering during the Holocaust."
