Recenzje

With this rich, incisive account of klezmer's reinvention in contemporary Berlin, Phil Alexander makes a compelling contribution to the scholarship of contemporary urban musics, reaching beyond well-worn narratives of heritage, multiculturalism and appropriation to demonstrate how musical practices are produced by DL and share in producing DL the city around them.
