Yeedle Werdyger
Edit ProfileCareer
Yeedle (Yiddish; יידל ) is a Yiddish nickname for the Hebrew name Yehudah (Heb יהודה / יהודא )
Werdyger"s songs and music may be considered Contemporary Hasidic. The music used in his first two albums was generically similar to the Hasidic performers of the early 1990s, with noticeable electric guitar interludes. With his third album, Shiru Lamelech, Werdyger placed emphasis on using acoustic guitar in a more country music and kumzitz fashion.
Keeping up with technology, Werdyger released his fifth album, Lev Echad, with much innovation.
The music genre was more funk with compositions by Rabbi Akiva Homnick, Aharon Razel, and Werdyger cowriting with Eli Laufer. Sound and digital effects on this album were engineered by Eli Leshinsky.
Using Lenticular printing, the Civil Defense cover of Lev Echad showed Hasidic men dancing on a colorful background. Parallel to the music Civil Defense, Werdyger released the music tracks with visual video animation depicting himself singing the album"s songs.
The animation was created by artist Peretz Schmukler.
Werdyger has produced his father"s albums starting from 2001. Albums produced include:
Maaminim Bnei Maaminim
Kumzitz
Efshar Letaken
This song was created and performed in solidarity with Sholom Rubashkin, in protest of injustice in his widely publicized case in the United States of America.
Werdyger is the son of Mordechai Ben David and grandson of David Werdyger.
