Today on the podcast, Seattle-based Brivele, the duo of Maia Brown and Stefanie Brendler! Brivele formed as a trio in 2017 and have recently become a duo. They are releasing their 3rd album, Khaverim Zayt Greyt, (Friends/Comrades, Get Ready) on May Day (May 1st), on Borscht Beat Records.
Dan and the duo talk about the new record, what inspired the music on it, both from within the musicians themselves and their work in the wider Yiddish world. We talk about the band itself and how it came together and what it means to be a Folk Punk band. We also just get down as friends and peers who are part of a big community fighting to make yiddish music and yiddish culture. We hope you check out the record and enjoy our conversation.
