thanks for posting this!
someone had sent it to me in an email and I never opened it, afraid to
lipa is a tremendous hit and not only among chasidishe people
his "Gelt" song - also Yiddish, (cute video too) was a smash hit
he's a badchan which means he sings in Yiddish rhyme about a chasan and kalla and their family at weddings for a small fortune, and he also performs occasionally in concert
his Rebbe guides him and the reason these videos were made is because he won't perform live in front of a mixed audience like at the Hasc concert
he is extremely talented, his "L'eila u'l'eila" tape is gorgeous (all chasidic tunes) as are a few other earlier ones of his
by the way, anybody know the original tune of A Bi B'Lebt?
Hint: it's NOT Lion King

I don't want to be judgemental of him, and it is respectful that he doesnt sing in mixed groups, but I went to his concert on pesach 2 years ago..there were men and ladies there..
here is a link to the gelt one:

Quote: | Its original title was “Mbube,” (pronounced EEM-boo-beh) which means “Lion,” and it was sung with a haunting Zulu refrain that sounded, to English-speaking people, like “wimoweh.” “Mbube” was a big hit in what is now Swaziland; it sold nearly 100,000 copies in the 1940s by its originator, South African Solomon Linda. Linda had written it based on a boyhood experience chasing lions that were stalking the family's cattle, and recorded the tune in 1939 with his group the Evening Birds. It was so popular that Zulu choral music became known as “Mbube Music”. Then it passed into the broad field of “folk” music, albeit by an indirect route. The South African recording company sent it along with some other 78s to Decca Records in the U.S. Decca wasn't interested, but folk historian and musicologist Alan Lomax was. He took the records to Pete Seeger, of the American folk group the Weavers. Seeger was enchanted by “Mbube”, especially the refrain which sounded to him like “awimbooee” or “awimoweh” (it was actually “uyimbube” in Zulu). The Weavers (led by Gordon Jenkins' Orchestra) adapted it into a Top 15 hit in 1952, as “Wimoweh”. It was basically an instrumental with the group singing “wimoweh” over and over, with other vocal flourishes. The tune really took off in the Weavers' live version at Carnegie Hall in 1957. |

I heard his latest tape kanayinhora. I thought someone actually put on the radio. His songs don't seem yiddish at all. Maybe I am old fasioned, but I don't think there is much to be gained by listening to his tapes, or watching his videos. Maybe it is preferable for people who would otherwise listen to non jewish artists.

Lucky, I had the same response.
At first when I saw yiddish, I thought might be nice to show my kids but after I saw it, realized it´s not what I want my kids to hear.
