scope and content: Interwar Russian tangos by Latvian Jewish songwriters Mark Marianovsky (1889-1944) and Oscar Strok (1892-1975), recorded by internationally renowned interpreter of tango-songs Pyotr Leshchenko (1898-1954). Recorded in Vienna in 1933. Pyotr Leshchenko was a singer in the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union and is considered"the King of Russian Tango" This LP includes the original recording of the hit tango"Golubiye Glaz" (Sky-blue eyes) by Oskar Strok, the"Latvian Tango King" During World War II the tune was repurposed as a song about the special misfortunes of Jewish-Christian converts in the Warsaw ghetto; after the war it became"Vu ahin zol ikh geyn" (Where shall I go?), the"anthe" of Europe's Jewish Displaced Persons.
