The documentary presents a wide and diverse range of the flourishing Yiddish musical repertoire during the concert hosted at the Résidence Palace in Brussels, sponsored by Myriam Fuks, with Karsten Troyke, Shura Lipovsky and the KlezRoym.

Love songs, lullabies, praises to God, guinguette songs.
The sacred and the secular, melancholy and joy, irony, humour and sense of tragedy can often coexist within the same Yiddish song.
In March 2005, a number of artists gathered in Brussels for this exceptional evening. These artists, who give us here the opportunity to familiarize oneself with the Yiddish repertoire, were chosen for their personality and their different approaches to Yiddish songs: Karsten Troyke from Berlin and the Trio Scho from Ukraine (a rediscovered heritage), Shura Lipovsky from Amsterdam (transmission of a culture), Myriam Fuks from Belgium and the KlezRoym from Rome (jazz fusion). Thanks to them, we rediscover a heritage that is still alive and is today a source of inspiration for musicians of many various backgrounds and cultures.
