A Kitzur: משקה, אַרױס פֿון דער שאַפֿע | "Mashke," Out of the Closet
Listen now
Description
A special Vaybertaytsh Short to tide you over til next week! This episode includes a new, queerified version of Mikhl Gordon’s song “Mashke,” written and performed by Noam Lerman and Leana Jelen. You can find the lyrics below, both for the beginning parts which are true to the original, and to the new parts written by Noam and Leana. They performed this for the Yidish Vokh “Talentanya,” and then we went ahead and recorded it in the only quiet space with good acoustics at the Vokh: inside of a closet. The irony did not escape us! Enjoy.
