Isa Kremer lived Iife to the fullest as the premiere singer of authentic Yiddish songs. The first woman to perform Yiddish songs on the concert stage, she Iegitimized the language as a valid and vital part of Jewish culture. A cIassically trained opera star, Isa 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, famiIy members, performers, and schoIars, lsa: The PeopIe's Diva chronicles Kremer's life across five decades. Not onIy did her career paraIlel some of the 20th century's most tumultuous events-the Russian RevoIution, the rise of Nazism, and the volatile politics of South America-her career was directIy affected by their outcome. Despite personaI trauma and poIitical turmoil, Kremer never backed down from controversy, took the easy path, or surrendered to pressure to stop performing in Yiddish.
Isa: The PeopIe's Diva recIaims the legacy of this complex, passionate woman, who transcended both time and geographic borders, from the Iost pages of history. |
