About this episode

Chaia discusses the blend of Yiddish archival practice and electronic music in relation to revolutionary folksongs.

Chaia is a composer combining Yiddish archival practice and electronic club music. She joins Lex Rofeberg and Rena Yehuda Newman for a conversation honoring May Day (International Workers' Day). Together they explore the intersection of Yiddish, revolution, and folksong -- which, as it turns out, is an extremely prolific and inspiring intersection!
