Socalled

Can a photographer, puppet player, pianist, cartoonist, magician and rapper get a full house to dance? Well, yes — Josh Dolgin, aka So- called, can. The Canadian with Ukrainian roots discovered black music as a teenager, then hip hop and finally Yiddish music. He has mixed the latter with his rapping and hip hop beats to create Jew funk: passionate, boisterous and contagious music, just the right sound for a cosmopolitan jambo- ree. (ron)
