Welcome to Dnieper Shlepper!

Due to popular demand (well, popular in my view) I present the latest member of the growing Cohen Dynasty of Blogs: Dnieper Shlepper. I have created this as a separate blog page to host blogpost reports from my trip down the Dnieper River in the Ukraine in May 2007. All of these posts were originally published on my regular blog Dumneazu: Ethnomusicological Eating East of Everywhere. The trip was also documented by a film crew from the National Film Board of Canada, who also maintain a blog about the event. The film crew included Canadian Film/Food Mastermind Barry Lazar, who really inspired me to document the unique flavors of the local chow... on film, at least. Concieved of and primarily organized by the prodigious Dolgin Family - especially DJ Socalled Josh Dolgin - a dozen or so of the world's best Klezmer musicians, and a delightful cast of travellers on the Klezmer Heritage Cruise from Kiev to Odessa in the Ukraine. I will soon add a few fresh postings to this blog on topics I left uncovered during my Ukrainian blog blitz of the spring. Enjoy...
