Description: 4 min. — 9/8 mouth music inspired by Yiddish dance music, paired with a Yiddish song. I framed the song with a dance song I wrote. It seemed to fit the rebelliousness and resilience in these words. The dance rises up against the sorrow, and uses only the voice – when we have nothing else, we have our voices to make us dance.
