Louisa Lyne & di Yiddishe Kapelye
Since their debut in 2012, Louisa Lyne & di Yiddishe Kapelye have created a distinct musical world where klezmer meets folk song, pop and music from across the globe, placing Yiddish in a fresh and vibrant context.
Singer Louisa Lyne, born in Härnösand, is a leading interpreter of Yiddish and its rich vocal tradition. Through passion, study and artistic curiosity, she has immersed herself in the Yiddish musical heritage and developed a personal and expressive voice that has moved audiences far beyond Sweden’s borders.
In 2019, Louisa won the international competition Der Yiddisher Idol in Mexico City. In the Swedish television series Folkets musik, the group’s Yiddish interpretation of The Ark’s It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane (S’nemt a nar) was widely praised, and in 2022 Louisa appeared in SVT’s National Day celebrations at Skansen. The same year saw the release of the band’s fourth album A troym oyf a boym, which was awarded the Manifest Prize for Children’s Music of the Year in 2023.
Welcome to a musical tribute to Leonard Cohen’s life and work, ten years after his passing.

Louisa Lyne – vocals
Irina Binder – violin
Anna Thorstensson – cello and vocals
