Story Behind The Song
A testament to the universality and uplifting nature of dancing whether in a 19th century Jewish shtetl or the floor of a sweaty dance club. "Tantz Tantz Allemin" is Yiddish for "Dance Dance Everyone."
Song Description
Tantz Tantz Allemin is a free wheeling mix of clarinets, slap heavy bass, synthesizers, and electric mandolin. Vocals provided courtesy of a fantastically robotic vocoder. Melodic content draws heavily from the modalities of Eastern European klezmer music and also 1980s electro-funk.
