"Vanderlust": new release of Nikitov!

You can trust us: Niki is tov! In other language, Niki is wonderfull!
This ensemble of chords and voice is something: Simple and vigorous. Nice music, superb arrangements, vibrant and emotional. All at once. She has a unique singing style that fits entirely the jewish tradition.
Her partners Jellen van Tongeren (violin), Adam Good (guitar) and Jason Sypher (bass), embrace her voice while pulling us into a rythm tornado!
Niki Jacobs has been singing Yiddish songs for over ten years. Her early fascination with the family history of her Yiddish-speaking great grandparents ultimately fostered a passion for Yiddish language and culture, especially its musical traditions. Building on her classical training in voice, Niki studied in New York with three of the most accomplished musicians in the field of Yiddish music: Zalmen Mlotek, Adrienne Cooper, and Joanne Boarts. In New York she sang with the great violinist Lisa Gutkin and the widely acclaimed accordionist Lorin Sklamberg, both members of the world-famous band, The Klezmatics. She has also sung at the Folksbiene Gala, an initiative of the Yiddish Theatre of New York. A gifted performer of Yiddish folk songs, Niki teaches at the Jewish Music School in Amsterdam. For the past seven years she has organized and conducted workshops in the United States and Europe.
