The Klezmatics share the lead single + video, “Un Du Akerst” (a worker’s anthem whose title translates to “And You Plow”) featuring La Manga & Lavender Light Gospel Choir. With words by Jewish political and cultural philosopher Chaim Zhitlowsky inspired by a poem from 19th-century German revolutionary Georg Herwegh, the track is a resistance-fueled Yiddish workers protest anthem that, while in line with traditional klezmer sound, exemplifies the cross-cultural solidarity heard throughout the project with the help of La Manga and Lavender Light Gospel Choir. Inspiring both action and solidarity, “Un Du Akerst” comes to a powerful refrain in which all the voices unite to exclaim “We deserve a living wage, Let the bosses feel our rage, Unified our pow’r is great, We’ll fight until we all are free!,” a sentiment relevant today, and always.
