Dan Kaufman, the mastermind of the popular and eclectic band
Barbez tackles Radical Jewish Culture with a brilliant
interpretation of the life and work of enigmatic Jewish poet
Paul Celan. Born in Romania, Celan chose to write exclusively
in German after losing his entire family to the Holocaust.
Combining words to create new compounds packed with imagery
and meaning in an attempt to almost remake the German
language, his poetry is now recognized as some of the greatest
writing of the 20th century. Kaufman responds to Celan with a
sharp mind and a keen ear for harmony, lyricism and unusual
sounds.
