Socalled - Drei Dreidel

from Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada XIV by Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada

/

about

Socalled -aka Montreal’s Josh Dolgin- is a producer, film-maker, pianist, rapper, beat-maker, puppeteer and long term champion of Yiddish- writing a Yiddish Gangster Puppet Musical, Isaac Babel’s Tales From Odessa, as well as recording an album of Yiddish Songs with Hamburg’s Kaiser Quartett ‘Di Frosh’, from which this version of Drei Dreidel is taken. Last year he read ‘A Parakeet Named Dreidel’ on CBC as part of Canada’s Hanukkah celebrations. This year he has been part of Yiddishe Pirat alongside clarinetist Michael Winogrand and Vulpeck’s Jack Stratton, and together released Klezmer Klezmer Klezmer. He also released the fourth and final episode of his hip-hop puppet musical The Season.

With Hanukkah starting at sundown on 18th and continuing straight through to Boxing Day, this seemed the perfect way to start this years compilation, and end it as well, with Dolgin’s electro reworking of the track Dreidel 2000.
