Humorist Harry Golden once quipped, “The history of Jews in America, from sha sha to cha cha.” The exhibition Jews on Vinyl is full of Latin-Jewish, bagels-and-bongos audio treasures, and this listening party celebrates everything from Yiddish mambos to Fiddler on the Roof charangas. Come hear how Tito Puente ended up playing the Catskills, how a Brooklyn Jew became known as El Judio Maravilloso, and much more. Presented in association with the Idelsohn Society for Musical Preservation.
Make it a night! Light supper and cocktails will be available for purchase. And be sure to visit the exhibition; Jews on Vinyl will remain open to attendees until 9:30 p.m.
MAZEL TOV, MIS AMIGOS IS PRESENTED AS PART OF “VIVA!” AN ONGOING SKIRBALL INITIATIVE THAT EXPLORES THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN JEWISH AND LATIN AMERICAN CULTURES THROUGH LECTURES, CONVERSATIONS, AND PERFORMING, VISUAL, AND MEDIA ARTS.
