Yeedle Werdiger, son of renowned Chasidic singer Mordechai Ben David (AKA MBD), has come out with a new album called Lev Echad ("One Heart"). Yeedle has been working on this album for some time already; his latest album came out a few years ago. In the following video, Yoni Kempinski speaks with Yeedle on this week's edition of Israeli Salad, the IsraelNN TV weekly magazine.
"I'm very picky when it comes to song selection," said Werdiger, explaining why it took so long until he came out with another album. "It took me probably four years to find all the material and, thank G-d, we're finally here!"
Regarding his most significant influence, his father, Yeedle says: "I try to involve him as much as I can. When I got to my final choices I... ran it by him and took 99.9 percent of his advice."
The video interview includes segments from a unique animation musical clip featuring an animated Yeedle singing parts of the songs from the new album.
