Ich Flee (I fly) by Brothers Nazaroff from "The Happy Prince"

Klezmer supergroup The Brothers Nazaroff perform the jubilant “Ich Flee (I Fly)” from "The Happy Prince," a joyous tribute album to Yiddish troubadour Nathan “Prince” Nazaroff.

Smithsonian Folkways presents "The Happy Prince," a boisterous, high-energy tribute to cult Yiddish troubadour Nathan “Prince” Nazaroff, who recorded the mysterious Folkways 10-inch record Jewish Freilach Songs in 1954. International klezmer supergroup The Brothers Nazaroff, composed of Daniel Kahn, Psoy Korolenko, Michael Alpert, Jake Shulman-Ment, Bob Cohen, and Hampus Melin, breathe new life into the discordant, obscure, jubilant legacy of their Happy Prince.
