Description
DESCRIPTION:
This a rare original recording of Lemko Music recorded between 1928 and 1930 in New York through the initiative of Stephen Shkimba, first with Okeh records. American Columbia label, and Columbia also began recording Lemko Music. Lemko wedding songs, folk dances skits, religious music, and folk ballads began to hit the streets.....Not only Columbia use the " Lemko-Ukrainian" qualifier, they also sold some as "Lemko Russian" "Lemko Polish"....to capitalize on any potential cross-over....where the records were sold out of local gramophone shops in immigrant neoghborhoods....by musicians themselves, out of their homes. Some were sold in small businesses that catered the Lemkos- ice cream oarlor in Clifton, New Jersey, for instance. (taken from Excavated shellac.com)
