Isa Kremer lived life to the fullest as the premiere singer of authentic Yiddish songs. The first woman to perform Yiddish songs on the concert stage, she legitimized the language as a vaIid and vital part of Jewish culture. A cIassicaIly trained opera star, lsa acted out these foIk tunes using her voice, gestures, and mannerisms, offering emotionaI and dramatic interpretations.
Using rare footage, hundreds of photos, and interviews with friends, family members, performers, and schoIars, Isa: The PeopIe's Diva chronicles Kremer's Iife across five decades. Not onIy did her career paraIIeI some of the 20th century's most tumultuous events-the Russian RevoIution, the rise of Nazism, and the voIatiIe poIitics of South America-her career was directIy affected by their outcome. Despite personal trauma and politicaI turmoiI, Kremer never backed down from controversy, took the easy path, or surrendered to pressure to stop performing in Yiddish.
lsa: The People's Diva reclaims the Iegacy of this compIex, passionate woman, who transcended both time and geographic borders, from the Iost pages of history. |
