Yiddish Song: Mein Shtetl Belz, 1928

Yiddish Song: Mein Shtetl Belz, 1928 This old Yiddish song was very popular in prewar Poland not only as the art song, but also as a popular tango: “Miasteczko Bełz“. Unforgetable rendition of this song by Adam Aston can be listened to in You Tube. Here is another one - anonymous - and wonderful - presentation, made by one the uncredited Jewish singers from the 1920s in Poland, I suppose. This recording has been mailed to me by one of our friends in the world - with a question: can this rendition be identified? ATTENTION! The “Unknown“ painter of the excellent “Water Carrier“ at 0:38 is MAYER KIRSHENBLATT. I could make up for that missing name thanks to YT friend brayndl who sent me that precious information!
