Lenka Lichtenberg

Uniquely Canadian, acoustic world roots music, born from the rich Toronto soundscapes
of Eastern Europe, Middle East, India and Brazil.

"Absolutely exquisite..." Karen Gordon, CBC Radio 1

"Passionate and prolific, Lenka Lichtenberg is a force of nature within Canada’s world music scene…
Like Loreena McKennitt with Celtic sounds, Lichtenberg is pushing Yiddish music beyond its klezmer stereotype into
a truly inspired form of world music." Nicholas Jennings, Penguin Eggs
