Recently, Rochelle Zucker has been featuring groups that have shown longevity and are still vital and relevant on the Jewish Music scene.  Today the spotlight falls on Yale Strom and Hot Pstromi.  Strom founded the group in 1982.   The group performs classic Klezmer, Balkan music, original compositions and arrangements, Yiddish songs and much more.  The lead vocalist for the group is Elizabeth Schwartz.

Yale Strom is  violinist, composer, filmmaker, writer, photographer and playwright. He is a pioneer among Klezmer revivalists in conducting extensive field research in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans among the Jewish and Romani communities since 1981.  You will hear from Yale himself about his new novel - The Autobiography of the Offenbacher.  The book traces the life of a storied violin as it witnesses the history of Central and Eastern European Jewry from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth century.

Jewish Radio is a Winnipeg Institution predating many of the others.It was started almost 80 years ago by Moshe Cantor, continued by Noah (Noyakh) Witman. After Witman's death, for almost 20 years, until his retirement in 2019, Sid Halpern served as Executive Producer.  He was the "neshome" - the heart and soul of The Jewish Radio Hour.  It was a labour of love. As well as hosting interesting and informative programs, he organized things and secured financing so we could continue. The show is hosted by a group of volunteers. We are not supported by The Jewish Federation but are an integral part of The Community keeping our rich culture and Heritage very much alive.

On the Yiddish half hour, Rochelle Introduces you to a new recording called Di Rayzes Fun Sofia (Sofia's Journeys).The artists - Ensemble Waks from Germany have taken bits from the old wax cylinder recordings that ethnomusicologist and folklorist Sofia Magid collected during her research travels through Volyn, Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and  Karelia and have  interwoven them with their own vocals and arrangements. (The wax cylinder technology is old and quite primitive compared the recording options we have today.  Therefore, the quality of the original clips is not that good.  However, they add to the historical significance of the project.)
