Baruch Chauskin Unveils His New Single, “Di Sapozhkelekh”
Ulterground Records is excited to announce the release of “Di Sapozhkelekh”, a new single by Baruch Chauskin.
- (1888PressRelease) July 19, 2023 - Di Sapozhkelekh is a product of a long-time creative collaboration between Baruch Chauskin and Valery Brusilovsky, a music arranger, producer and a highly sought-after drummer, based in Frankfurt a. M, Germany. The skillful and sophisticated arrangement of the song that Valery created, matches perfectly the delicate and soulful vocal performance of Baruch Chauskin. Baruch’s deep expertise in Yiddish and Klezmer folklore shines in full in this tender and affectionate rendition of this rare song.
The song was discovered by Michael Alpert in the 80s from a Ukrainian emigrant, Bronya Sakina. It was made a part of the Broadway show Those Were the Days. Notable performers of the song include Eleanor Reissa, Adrienne Cooper and Joanne Borts. The presented rendition of Baruch Chauskin and Valery Brusilovsky, represents a more traditional north-east European Yiddish wedding tradition.
Di Sapozhkelekh is available on all major streaming and download platforms starting July 19th, 2023.
