Chava Alberstein: Hebrew and Yiddish Folk Music December 2, 2007

Chava Alberstein in Concert
Oved Efrat, guitar
Avi Agababa, percussion

Known for her sublime and distinctive range as a tenor, Chava is Israel's most accomplished singer and cherished folk icon. Her music straddles a "bittersweet tension between the national and the universal." With more than fifty albums to her credit, forty in Hebrew and six in Yiddish, she is often cited as almost single-handedly reviving Yiddish language and music as part of the Israeli cultural legacy.
