Karsten Troyke, born as Karsten Bertolt Sellhorn on 14 August 1960 in East-Berlin, GDR, is a singer, actor, and speaker. He is best known as an interpreter of Yiddish song.
Performing on stage since 1982, he studied singing as well as drama and speaking during the 80's. His father, a manager for jazz music, had started performing a "Jewish evening" in the 1960's, presenting Yiddish literature translated in German, and Yiddish songs, played from records. Later Troyke joined this performance, replacing the records with himself singing Yiddish folksongs.
After the Berlin wall fell, he worked in a Berlin theatre doing Musicals in Yiddish. Troyke participated in radio plays, worked as a voice actor (dubbing), and recorded several albums with songs in German, and albums in Yiddish too.

My dear town can continue to sleep quiet And see the dreams and getting green among the spring My dear town can continue to sleep quiet And see the dreams and getting green
