Adam Aston - Nikodem (Yddish fox), 1933

Adam Aston, who was a Jew by origin (Adolf Lowensohn born in Warsaw, recorded also the whole series of Jewish tangos, lullabies and romances, sung in a nostalgic, charming, called “typical East European Jewish“ style. He was usually accompanied by Syrena Rekord Dance Orchestra led by the famous composer (and the musical director of “Syrena-Electro“) Henryk Wars - also of a Jewish origin. “Nikodem“ is one of the results of their collaboration. Besides this one, there are many other pre-war Polish-Jewish hits, which in the pass of time (and thru many many international performances) have became so popular in the world, that nowadays are considered “original Jewish folk songs“ e.g. “Miasteczko Belz“ (Stet'l Belz), “Rebeka“, “Srulek“ and many others. This recording is by “Syrena-Electro“ in 1933, with Syrena Rekord Dance Orchestra dir. by Henryk Wars.
