lsa Kremer Iived Iife to the fulIest 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 cuIture. 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, family members, performers, and schoIars, Isa: The People's Diva chronicIes 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 volatile politics of South America-her career was directly affected by their outcome. Despite personal trauma and poIiticaI turmoiI, Kremer never backed down from controversy, took the easy path, or surrendered to pressure to stop performing in Yiddish.
Isa: The People's Diva reclaims the Iegacy of this complex, passionate woman, who transcended both time and geographic borders, from the Iost pages of history. |
