forgotten. we discovered cherished music with connective power. and we start with the dish. oh, who's in them? dan called dish nod from donna hall. so this is daniel cans version of leonard cohen's classic june. harlan moved forward decker, his 1st solo album, he translated lyrically to yiddish. manish techs originally written by the likes of curt nicholson and bob dylan. jewish artillery, explain him the issue item. so i thought of them along behind the scenes should lead caught you to think songs are so rich and so deep, just because of history and the changing of time, vandal that side. so me,

i mentioned presser, was written in 1916 by solomon smallwood. it's a ballard about the polio outbreak that swept new york. o. as the corona virus pandemic regions, the lyric still ring true to day fina for stanley. this proclamation. but in man, not many know the language that if you can make it understandable, it opens something up. after a shot i originally from the us con, 1st learned yiddish after moving to germany in 25. to day he and his wife, russian artist, eva lisco, live in hamburg with their son, to the owner house boot. at home, they speak english, russian, german,

and yiddish. daniel con, loves diversity in his music too. i realize the freedom sometimes he plays alone. sometimes with his band, the painted bird, his music is steeped in melancholy and anger about all that's wrong in the world. my dear v, i hope people are all over the world. are building up resistance bowen, for justice of her anti racism, antithesis real democracy, discharged her freedom of a verb that was inspired by these movements of freedom as a verb is in still yet friends, ocean per vague woman. and he combines klezmerson punk blues and folk, and re interprets bold song such as more decay, bertie 19 thirty's, him to the jewish workers movement with lyrics of a sarcastic edge that still sounds contemporary.

ah, you again are the leader d m. i like to play old songs that work like new songs, old songs about war poverty and love. and i try to write new songs that can also grow old. i've been oh using that will stand the test of time. just like that of mordechai good birth. who was murdered by the nazis in 1942. daniel con shows how closely linked the present is to the past. ah, can music save lives? we spoke to anita lucko, vall, fish who survived the hail of oceans and bergen belsen. ah. it is

very difficult to explain to your generation this generation a state of mind at that time to day i am alive to morrow. i might not be. that's how it was. we didn't think much. we just lift from one hour to the next. ah, but music was a lifeline. i always wanted to play the cello tent. ask me why. but then the difficulties began when i was older and still wanted to play the cello. there wasn't any cello teaches impress low to days. faults left, he would teach a jewish child. ah, anita, alaska. val fish was born into a german jewish family in 1925. she was the youngest child. the nazis came to power in 1933. what happened then was that i was sent to berlin, where a jewish cello teacher taught me. it was not long before the 9th of november,

everything changed at that moment. we knew we couldn't stay, but unfortunately it was already too late. to poke rome of november 9th 1938 revealed the extent of the nazi threat anti semitic persecution. gave way to genocide. anita lucko, val fish was deported to ocean city and december 1943. we already knew what out of it's meant that we were going to be murdered the last station. but nothing turns out the way you expect. because she could play the cello, she became part of the women's orchestra motions. this saved her life. over a 1000000 people died in the camp between 940-1945. most were gast, others were shelter, beaten to death. many died of illness and starvation. we thought as long as they want music,

they went put us in the gas chamber. that's all respite if they want music, they need us respite. that's all. ah, we will, marched out early in the morning. we sat at the gate and played marches as thousands of prisoners were sent off to work in factories. the same happened in the evening when that was over, we were sent back to the block to learn notes. the repertoire by hot there were comes at some sunday. we sat somewhere in the camp. i can't remember how many places we played and it was for the amusement of the gods, but the prisoners could also harass. and the reactions were very different. for some, it was an insult. but i've also read about people who said that it helped them to dream they were somewhere other than this. hell for

a few minutes. ah, she survived not only the hell of oceans but also winter bergen. belsen were many die because the terrible conditions she was still there when the campus liberated by british troops in april 1945. ah, you know, send me my life has 2 parts. one of them is hell. the other part is normal life. but not cease disjoint so much, but not music. pe tried that they couldn't. ah, composer yara mere vine burger managed to escape the nazis and emigrate to america . his works were largely forgotten, but they're now being re discovered ah,

ruling stone spring storms was the last operator performed in the weimar republic, details of love and intrigue during times of war. it disappeared from the stage after the nazis came to power. almost 90 years later, the artistic director of the commercial, oprah berlin barry kosky decided to revive it. we had to play sherlock holmes, a little hyster because he orchestral score had disappeared. but we reconstructed it younger math is now that reconstructed version of spring storms. premier didn't berlin? in january 2025 sion caught her jewish check composer yara mir vine burger became world famous in the 1920s. thanks to his opera, shonda the bagpiper. it was the most played opera on the german language stages in

the 2nd half of the 1920s. it was also celebrated in london and new york. but the composer languished in obscurity, after escaping nazi germany for the u. s. will vineberg as an interesting man among for a few years. he was one of the most famous composers in the world that but he had to leave after 933 when they had any, the terrible fate, like many others, he was in america, didn't write much losses. enthusiasm had done then he got brain cancer and committed suicide, marked in other circumstances. spring storms may well have become a world wide triumph. wow. non leaked, he's a butso with works of jewish artists were labeled, degenerates and bond by the nazis.

ah, these are, but i just need to be diesel. coretta is not like others, and it's sort of a spy drama won't just but the fact it premiered in 1933 and the shadow of the war and the sure i'd see she gives it a particular quality dish to come. bizarre. the quality spring storm seems harmless enough. but for koski, the oppressive atmosphere at the time is palpable. this work which only had a short run before the nazis seized power. the strict get its about the love of a russian aristocrat, lydia pub, laska, for a japanese major e to my or ito ah glove. and i think that in 1033, i just had to turn the russian woman into a german and the japanese man into a jew. and it was clear what was meant, yoda, this is clovis district eigen dickies livable stitching their po,

any behead bah, lips. oh oh no, it's white as i work as a boat identity who is who very nobody trusts and nobody how not even the main characters in these i think that was in the air in 1930 threeish globbed thus far in the loft. ah, sanders lu, choosing music is shot through with melancholy tones, set designer close greenberg design to dark transformer po box to illustrate the dark historical context. the deed is acoustical. idea of this box came from the fact that none of the characters are at home, the friends are all wistful in a foreign country. come, you things come to the surface of a new, isn't there just highlighted like quote, memory as much. when would i be toya? oh, we come. sure. opa is now working on via burger's 929 oper shonda due to premier this year. my yes sir. your composers we discovery is long overdue.

ah, celebrating the workmen legacy weighs heavily on one side to lead man his father the so to speak, my father's 2nd life. he suffered so much during the war $35.00 of his relatives, including his wife and his one and a half year old daughter were murdered and the regal ghetto. along the floor, he was able to escape. and he met my mother in germany after the war with those are the circumstances of my birth. it will fernand organise, sold the dish and stuff. oh

oh. 2 0, i see myself as my father's 2nd life. with such a tragedy, he wanted to plant something good in me. i got me off. he also gave me the strength to believe that a lot can be achieved. if one is honest and true to oneself, then marielli spoke on women. twas exam a stick. oh lou ah, his jewish heritage and the hopes and expectations of his father continue to

preoccupy him to this day. ah, he's up and 4000000 to 5150. the from english, i have a family history and because of it, i feel a duty to do something else for you. i do it for young people, 1st and foremost, to talk a soccer soccer. and a lot of, that's why i founded the cry, murata baltic orchestra 25 years ago with talented people from the 3 baltic states . estonia, latvia, unless you, when you yeah, hope and we're still together and then we're a family friends and i am at home with the orchestra room a lot about the concert halls. i managed to plan something of myself in this next generation, so to speak with one of my attitude towards music and towards life from atlanta, oakland. so mazique in mahal totally in

awe problems when the zillow formerly had the same fun. i recently said that i was driven by contradictions lou her muses and i actually seek them out. so a cannon, it's important to recognise new things scornful to expand the spectrum of my work paper and my thought and to transmit it to the audience or the next generation with him. but because i don't want to sound sentimental from your boss, i search every day lou, but i'm never satisfied with what i find so famous that ah, is arguing with been paying political on. i've said it over and over again. i'm not

a politician and won't ever be won by the mention of esther, but i am a defender of human rights in russia, in germany or in ukraine in syria with and god knows where else all of that concerns me little but i don't go out to answer the barricades about, but i do have an incredible amount of empathy for all those who suffer valves images in party. so i didn't the, the fun loan her ah, ah, you with the was it made it we tried to make the world a little bit better with music. and but the world is crazy or a new country fight that with music. with them was there is little hope of doing so

a good dismissal from still of the glimmer of hope that exists is what i tried to transmit with the chrome erotic baltic out about a couple middle, oh oh oh oh, making the world a little better with music and ambition shan't, by israeli singer songwriter and producer naga as mom and i know where to go. no future insight that thought no get and i sings in her bleak and angry song, bad habits. i was born an angry person.

the song was born on the never missed one. i'm sick is when she things about celebrating life as she does in the end of the road. best. nothing cliched about it . she's from a country that cannot find peace, televi, where she lives. there's no stranger to terrorism. conflict is constantly present, but she doesn't want to be a protest. singer. every time playing music is defined as political music. my instinct is to say, it's not political, it's just living here, makes some incidents a part of life. things have happened to you, your parents, your grandparents, it's just, it's just a part of life. but you know, that creates some kind of a atmosphere and it makes people who they are. it, it designs the texture of humanity here. ah, i am. no, it is isn't afraid to touch on controversial themes in

a provocative video for her song bulk ada. she dresses like a jewish orthodox man. no. the members of the ultra orthodox community, tel aviv is a city of sin, as opposed to the holy city of jerusalem. i . i contrasts feature heavenly in her songs, which he writes with her partner or he also way, way now. we would have an open microphone and had voice, and one of us would be just improvising things and jibberish ng things. but even though it happens in such a intuitive way, eventually we build as we'll build songs around that after having conversations about what is important to us. and they are very intimate conversations because m,

well we have that ability, we're not just music partners, we're life partners. and it's a big part of how i got to for him. my identity is an artist. ne, oh, we call the song as children a song for adults. i mean, mom, i cannot hear me when the pandemic stroke, it is and who so started imagining a different world. a world at a standstill. one without disasters, without bad news. i heard, he says and, and we're that is life to us and i've, i've allowed myself to be very innocent and childish for a 2nd. and just imagine,

you know, what, what would happen if, if that wasn't the case, the conclusion that i got to after, you know, thinking a little bit about what the world would be. i was like, we're not ready for this. we're not ready for the world to be right. her song fire kites was inspired by the attacks of protesting palestinians who flew fire kite bombs over the israel garza border in 2018. and try to seek a fair, fair finger knocking in it. she talks about all being just as much part of growing up for young women as sex 7. we don't need bombs, she sings. we got fire kites. we got play. okay. so we don't need bombs, we get like, ah, does she want to be an em bastard? if apiece, no, no, no need. will i make peace with my music?

is christian music doesn't have that power. music is a beautiful thing. as i said before, is a religion to be. i mean i'm, i believe in the god of music. music doesn't have the power to change reality, it has a power the way i see it, i think some people would be angry, but i think the way i see it that the one thing that music can do is to help other people realize that they're not alone with what they're going through. maybe i'm wrong. i don't think i'm wrong. i checked it for this week. now i see you next week for another edition of odds. 21. ah ah, with

a social inequality across africa. now get this. we had to lagos nigeria and ask people why there is a big problem between the rich and therefore we got the big names in the comfortable spend. yeah, well, it didn't last time. i need to know what african government can do. the 77 percent on d. w a 2nd chance

for electric call batteries out of service in the e, but still plenty of power for the ritual. soon on india's growth. second life faster, already bringing new life to the place. ready razzle home in 60 minutes on dw departure into the home. to day this means flying to a foreign planet. in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route. the world famous sea voyage of ferdinand of magellan. i'd rather erase linked to military interests, erase linked to political and military. christie, linked to many financial interests and adventure full of hardships,

dangers and death. 3 years that would change the world forever. my jillions journey around the world to start september 7th on d. w. hi there rogue love you are. and if this is your 1st time, welcome to the 77 percent. sure. here on this program we tackle important issues affecting the lives of africa. my name is michael o t and i am glad to have you here. in today's program we had to lagos nigeria and asked before why there is such a big gap between the rate and then we meet the canyon southwest we use as you want to tackle. so she'll probably.
