Description
Singer Shura Lipovsky is undoubtedly one of the most important performers of Yiddish and Jewish music in Europe. 'Malakh' is a powerful statement, a message of hope as well as an outcry for dialogue in these difficult times.
"In Jewish understanding there is a future time of consciousness and peace (messianic times), where humanity will live in joy, in playful creativity and without painful judgment of others." On 'Malakh' Lipovsky presents 17 songs illustrating this theme. The opening song 'Haynt iz purim' speaks of the joyous Purim holiday, where joy is traditionally linked to the time of peace and justice. 'Shemt zikh der malakh' (The angel is ashamed) was written in 2014, after the MH17 airplane was shot down in the Ukraine and 298 citizens were killed. The CD ends with positive songs 'Yosele' (about the awareness of beauty in our daily life) and 'Ale Brider' (hope for a peaceful world).
Shura's beautiful voice and the excellent playing of her Ensemble Novaya Shira make this a moving album, but also a powerful statement, a message of hope and an outcry for dialogue in these difficult times.
