"Rigli" represents our diverse creative endeavors, including "Rigli Music," "Rigli Media," and "Rigli Publishing." It also serves as a pseudonym for artists who, for various reasons, choose to keep their identities private.
Our portfolio includes multiple projects, with Jewish, the Musical as its centerpiece, part of the broader initiative "Jewish Songs for All." This musical, conceptualized and developed by me, tells the story of Jewish history through a rich tapestry of songs and dances. While rooted in traditional Jewish melodies, the musical also incorporates influences from Russian, Ukrainian, Latin American, and Christian gospel traditions.
At the heart of this project are the soulful translations and adaptations by Olga Anikina, breathing new life into beloved yet forgotten Jewish songs. Initially translated and adapted from Yiddish, Hebrew, and other languages into Russian (this segment is called Jewish Songs: in Russian [Еврейские песни. По-русски]), we now aim to adapt her masterful lyrics into contemporary English. This process goes beyond translation—it builds a cultural bridge connecting a rich heritage to the modern world.
To explore our current creative works, I invite you to listen to some of our early demos available in this YouTube playlist.
Sincerely,
Walter J. Kin
