HOT OFF THE PRESS! Now even more new singles from Gerard Edery! In a wave of fun and more modern spirit, Gerard is collaborating with sound
engineer and mixing wizard, Frank Wolf.
Our latest pop single is "
Daide Cenar", from Morocco and with Ladino text. Humorous, too! "Let’s serve dinner to the groom, for he hasn’t
eaten yet. The bride gets a chicken, the groom a sardine. Soft, warm bread for the bride and crumbs for the groom."
For our younger audiences, we have Gerard's first real DANCE MIX. "Beat-meister" Frank Wolf took Daide Cenar out to the next generation! Get ready--"Gotta Move It, Baby"!
"
Galanika"is a folk song with many settings (both in terms of melody and lyrics), this folk song originated in Salonika. Check it out!
Gülpembe is a Turkish song made famous throughout the world by rock musician Baris Manco in the late 1980’s. The version Gerard uses is from the Balkans; a different melody, but still romantic folk/pop music for the present.
