ROLLING WITH THE TUMMLERS
Project Troubador was set to help send the Casco Bay Tummlers,
a fabulous klezmer band from Maine, to the Buenos Aires Klezmer Festival
this past year. However, due to the double whammy of 9/11 coupled with
the economic crash in Argentina, the festival has been put on hold.
This gathering would have brought klezmer bands from all over the world to
Argentina to celebrate the revival of this fine Jewish music. Back
in 2000 the Tummlers traveled to Lithuania with Project Troubador, breathing
life into a tradition snuffed out by both Nazism and communism. Project
Troubador stands on firm footing to help balance another Tummling act in
the near future.
