Misha Demitro Tsiganoff better known as Mishka Ziganoff (sometimes also written as Tziganoff ), son of the son of Yanchie Demitro Tsiganoff and Vorgja Nickolama, was a gypsy musician originally from Odessa , a city in Ukraine and who at the beginning of the last century he moved to New York where he opened a restaurant, living first in Brooklyn and then Manhattan.
Virtuoso accordionist, Mishka Ziganoff, despite being a Christian, knew Yiddish and Klezmer music well . In 1919 he recorded a disc that contained the song "Koilen", whose melody , as reported by the scholar Fausto Giovannardi, would be very similar to that of the famous Italian partisan song " Bella Ciao " (and perhaps it would have inspired it); however, this conjecture has been criticized by other experts.
According to the scholar Rod Hamilton, of The British Library in London , "Kolien" would be a version of "Dus Zekele Koilen" ( Two bags of coal ), of which there are various versions dating back to the 1920s.
