Polish Music in Anthropology

In my anthropology class we learn about different Jewish communities throughout the world (pre and post WWII). On Thursday, we learned about Russian and Polish Jews! So aside from the notes, our teacher brought in this couple that plays Ashkenazi Polish music for a living. It's called Klesmer music. So they played a bunch of different songs, some happy and some sad. And the last song they played was called "Tumbalalaika"! That's my FAVORITE camp song so I was very excited!!! I love this class and all of the interesting things we get to do and people we get to meet!!!
