For this first week of July 2016 - the Fourth of July weekend - we chose a charming Tango/Chanson by a famous Polish performer - Zofia Terne whose silken voice and super good phrasing got much more polished as she got much older.
According to a good research note by Dr.240252 - when Terne was a young Polish/Jewish performer - her work was not nearly as excellent as her later efforts - much appreciated by big legions of her loyal fans.
Warsaw was a true mecca for super talents between 1930 and 1939. A lot of the great, outstanding performers, composers, lyricists - were Jewish. Most of them - unfortunately - perished in Hitler's "death factories".
Let's not repeat the awful mistakes of history since - presently - a lot of misguided Anti-Semites of many ignorant - ages and persuasions - vigorously spout anti-Israeli propaganda. Every nation makes some mistakes - but Israel has to be eternally perfectly - perfect or all the numerous haters scream "bloody murder" while they are very generous to their own nations' numerous blunders.
Back to our Video of the Week which has a wonderful story telling quality just like a real chanson would have. It's kind of unusual to have a Tango/Chanson combo - so - please - enjoy. Also - the notes and comments of 240252 are a wealth of interesting info given in a short version. Our comments - not nearly as excellent as those of Dr.240252 - are under tango 3721 on Youtube.
Have a wonderful first week of July 2016 and a great Great Fourth of July coming up!
Don't forget to click here next week for our choice of Video of the Week for the second week of July 2016!
