The esoteric world of Yiddish singing has been plunged into mourning by the death of Andrea Pancur, a Slovenian vocalist who toured as Alpenklezmer.

Exploring the links between Bavarian and Yiddish music, much of her repertoire was self-composed.

Andrea lived on the outskirts of Munich. No cause of death is known.
