Isa Kremer lived life to the fuIlest 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 emotional and dramatic interpretations.
Using rare footage, hundreds of photos, and interviews with friends, famiIy members, performers, and scholars, lsa: The PeopIe's Diva chronicles Kremer's life across five decades. Not only did her career paraIlel some of the 20th century's most tumuItuous events-the Russian Revolution, the rise of Nazism, and the voIatiIe poIitics of South America-her career was directIy affected by their outcome. Despite personaI 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 PeopIe's Diva recIaims the legacy of this compIex, passionate woman, who transcended both time and geographic borders, from the lost pages of history. |
