Cukunft live in Portugal (13mar2010)
ARTIST: Cukunft
COUNTRY: Poland
GENRE: Old Klezmer wedding music. Jewish folk music. Improvised Jewish music from Eastern Europe.
DESCRIPTION: The musicians interpret traditional pieces from the interwar and pre-war periods as well as compose new works. Their repertoire is always based on musicological and sociological studies.
MORE ABOUT: The band Cukunft (the future in Yiddish) was established by guitarist Raphael Rogiński. The idea of the project is the continuation of the Jewish musical tradition of Eastern Europe with all its richness and in all its forms and genres. The musicians interpret pre-war pieces, and compose their own using the entire spectrum of Jewish music which, for them, remains very much alive. Cukunfts repertoire is created spontaneously, but is also backed by serious musical and sociological research. In its original line-up a few years back, Cukunft prepared and performed the pieces of Mordechaj Gebirtig (b. 1877, d. 1942), who lived and composed in Cracow during the interwar period. This material was featured on the bands EP entitled Lider fun Mordechaj Gebirtig which was released in 2004. In their subsequent line-up, which featured a bassoon and percussion, Cukunft worked with pieces by Polish composers to the words of Jewish poets (Icyk Manger, Mosche Shneur, David Beigelman and others) as well as with music composed by Raphael Rogiński. That time the band focused on the tradition of the Jewish city music. The understated, even minimalistic way of performing allows audiences to really delve into the sound of contemporary Jewish music as that contemporary character is experienced by the musicians. Currently, the band is focused almost entirely on Jewish country music from the Galicia region. Processed through Cukunfts original sound, some of the traditional dances frejlaks, turkiszer or voleks are becoming the contemporary repertoire for a modern klezmer orchestra. Currently, the bands line-up includes Raphael Rogiński on electric guitar, Paweł Szamburski on clarinet, Paweł Szpura on drums and Michał Górczyński on bass clarinet.
