If you're in Mexico City June 14 you can hear your BLOG MOM sing in the Yiddish version of "American Idol" !!! Also - recommendations?
I am a finalist in the Yiddish songwriting contest called Der Yidisher Idol (or, in Spanish, Der Idisher Idol). They are flying me down to Mexico City to sing in the finals, a concert on June 14 at 6 pm! If you're around you can come! It's at Comunidad Bet-El (click for the map, you must search the location as "Bet Hajaim Comunidad Bet-El"). Click the poster to see a larger version.I will be arriving in town a couple days earlier. I have never been in Mexico before. Any suggestions in Mexico City - attractions, restaurants?
If you want to preview the song I'm singing, here I am with a couple of the members of my band Mappamundi, singing it the day I finished writing it! There are subtitles and the song expresses my world view completely.
It would be fun to meet somebody while I'm there...
Labels: announcements, proximas, que-te, sombra, telemundo

Wow! Congratulations, Jane! If this had happened in April, I would have been in D.F. I'll be sending you good vibes and thoughts.
Jane- By the way, Polanco, the Jewish neighborhood where it looks like this will take place, is where my friends live in D.F. and where I stayed while there last month. Would you like me to put you in touch with them?
That's fabulous, Jane! What a mind-blowing cultural and linguistic combination!
I wish you all the best.
I wish you all the best.
Jane..congratulations. You are off on another adventure. You are truly a Renaissance woman. Best of luck to you.

Jane, I listened to your song (and others) on your other blog. Since I don't really "know" you outside Caray I don't comment there as it felt like I was bring creepy.
Felicidades!
I chuckled and agreed about much of your world view. Yep, lament about the clamor and tumult is pointless. Pretty sure we're not going in any institutions tho, too $$!

Wow Jane, traveling to the Big Enchilada. I was surprised to be able to understand some of the Yiddish, thanks to some undergraduate German. And your voice surprised me. I have always thought of you as a contralto...or maybe a husky lower register type. Como sea! Enjoyed it greatly. Keep 'em coming.
Its so pretty - I enjoyed it with and w/o the subs
Never been to Mexico, city or otherwise,:< but if I was going to Mexico City, I'd revisit Rick Bayless' cooking shows about it - he usually includes a few good restaurant recommendations in each area he visits.

Mazel Tov! That was fabulous and actually, could only have been sung in Yiddish. Safe travels and may you come back with the crown.
Hi Jane,
nice to hear you! This is Martin Quetsche from "Schmarowotsnik" in Germany ( http://www.schmarowotsnik.de ) - we are going to meet you in Mexiko on stage!

Hola Martin! I have already listened to and enjoyed your song. How many of us will there be? When are you arriving?
Hola Jane! Thanks a lot - we enjoyed your song very much, too! We will arrive at the airport friday at noon and, until now, we don´t know anything about the other artists and all the nice people who are working for "Der idisher Idol". All this is very exciting for us!

Martin, did you make the video Alberto asked for? I just made mine but I'm not sure it's what he wanted.
Hi Jane! We have just recorded a short video - I have no idea whether that is what Alberto wanted, but we had fun with recording it. Take a look:

Hi Martin, I love your greeting! I uploaded mine to Google Drive here:

We should try to figure out how to have a zingeray while we are together in Mexico! I would like to play you some of my songs and hear some of yours!

Dear Jane, this is a really wonderful video-greeting! We would be happy to sing and play some music with you when we meet in Meksike - until now we don´t know where we will stay (it will be a private place). So, at the latest we meet sunday evening...
