WHAT IS KLEZMER?
Klezmer is high energy dance and party music traditionally performed by the Jewish people who lived and traveled across central and Eastern Europe.
The music includes influences from many regions, including Balkan, Ottoman, Romanian, and Ukrainian, and often features songs sung in Yiddish, the Eastern European Jewish language combining German, Hebrew, and Slavic influences.
