Black Rooster Kapelye

Black Rooster Kapelye brings to life Jewish and Latvian folk music collected by Emilis Melngailis at the turn of the 20th century. In December 2024, they released their debut album, Vos Mir Zaynen ("Who We Are"), under Lauska Records. The album features a mix of Latvian, Latgalian, Lithuanian, and Yiddish lyrics, exploring themes of identity and belonging, with a diverse range of instruments including violin, accordion, bagpipes and electric guitar alongside polyphonic vocals. Blending traditional melodies with contemporary sounds, Black Rooster Kapelye connects the past and present, fostering unity and understanding through music.

Cherry Bandora

Cherry Bandora is an oriental Jewish princess. This urban underground bellydancer found her golden band playing the squares and markets of Berlin, reviving 50’ and 60’ mediterranean classics with surf rock influences. While some of the songs are about drinking, hashish-smoking or simply about living the life of an outlaw, most of them tell the universal story of the desperate love of the broken-hearted, sang in poetic Greek, rhythmical Turkish and Hebrew slang.
The fresh combination of the greek blues guitar, the bouzouki, with the psychedelic hammond organ, accompanied by lively middle eastern grooves on drums creates an exciting clash of tradition and rebellious attitude. On top of this cream the bitter-sweet voice of Cherry is flying like an ornamented arrow that pierces through every beating heart in the crowd
