Karsten Troyke

...singer, speaker and actor, song-writer with a strangely husky voice. He is well-known at home and abroad above all for his rendering of Yiddish songs. Since the 1980's he performed shows with own singer/songwriter material, folk songs and "songs of the world". He has participated in radio plays, worked as Voice for advertising and synchronisation and acted in very varying stage plays. As an ambassador of Yiddish song art he went to many countries as such as Poland, France, Norway, Belgium, Danmark, Sweden, Croatia, Israel, USA and more... The songs he has written himself, and songs in Yiddish and German can be heard on several CDs.

Troyke collected forgotten Yiddish songs and presented recently Yiddish tangos and cabaret songs on stage.
