"Happiness Is" - Song Based on Russian Jewish Oral History Project - Singer Songwriter Tatyana Kalko

This original song is the product of a COJECO Blueprint Fellowship community oral history project dedicated to capturing the stories of Russian Jewish seniors through original music.
Singer-songwriter Tatyana Kalko wants to soothe your heart and make you cry at the same time. Born in Belarus and currently residing in NYC, Tatyana has been a student of Method Acting, a recreational interpretive dancer and poet, a seeker of transcendence and an advocate for inner healing through self expression and acceptance. Tatyana fosters a love for sincere yet irreverent storytelling and uplifting old world melodies, influenced by the likes of Anton Chekhov, Leonard Cohen and The Beatles. A classically trained singer and self taught guitarist and piano player, Tatyana embraces contemporary sounds alongside her rich Slavic and Jewish heritage, performing everything from acoustic folk and electro pop to jazz standards, French chanson and Russian and Yiddish classics. Her songwriting was recently featured on the CW show ‘Riverdale’ and has garnered over 200,000 plays on Spotify. Tatyana regularly performs with The Shul Band of NY and is an Artist in Residence with the non-profit UR2.Global.
