• Talila, the French-based Yiddish singer, who has been performing internationally for more than twenty years, recently received an Academie Charles Cros award.

• On this new album, she set out to challenge the stereotypes of klezmer music, with its traditional violin & clarinet accompaniment, and develop a new approach. Teddy Lasry arranged the songs - a musician coming from a Jazz and Hasidic musical background - who was able to use elements of slow rumba and American swing, among other influences.

• This album is packaged as a luxurious CD-book, over 100 pages, in which Talila relates, through 22 short stories, the story of her life: a child of Jewish Polish emigrates who chose the France of Victor Hugo and Emile Zola. She describes with humour and some tender irony the story of a people well-equipped to embrace French culture and traditions.

• Personnel : Talila: Vocals; Teddy Lasry: Piano, accordion, Clarinet & Bass-clarinet; Pierre Mortarelli: Double-Bass; Jeremy Lasry: Guitars; and Joseph Fartoukh: Percussion.
