My Yiddishe Mama Yiddish Song by Les Yuex Noir.

“Les Yeux Noirs,” French for “The Black Eyes,” take their name from the title of a Russian Gypsy tune ” Ochi Chyernye”. It’s the perfect name band from Paris that keeps alive the styles of Eastern Europe’s Gypsies and Jews, with violins, violoncello, accordion, electric guitar and drums.
They remain connected to the Yiddish and Slavic roots of the music with themes originating in Romania, Hungary and Russia.
With a good dose of Yiddish folklore, Les Yeux Noirs invites you to share in intense moments of emotion and joy as they weave their magic with extraordinary energy.
Both joyous and nostalgic, this music perfectly reflects the lives of persecuted people in exile, caught up in a massive diaspora, all with an unshakable will to live. Part gypsy, part klezmer, this is the music that has moved people to sing and around the world for centuries.
With each frenetic stroke of their bows they take the listener further into a dizzying vortex of European sounds and images.
Brothers Eric and Olivier Slabiak founded Les Yeux Noirs. The two classically trained Jewish brothers have played violin since ages 5 and 7 respectively.
Eric and Olivier have both won first prize at the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music and
Les Yeux Noirs were nominated for the Victories de la Musique (French equivalent to the Grammys) in 1998.
