The Klezmatics

About the Show:

The Klezmatics are world-renowned and Grammy-winning superstars of the klezmer world. They erupted out of New York City’s East Village in 1986 and revitalized klezmer for the new century with music that is steeped in Easter European Jewish tradition and spirituality, while incorporating contemporary themes such as human rights and anti-fundamentalism with eclectic musical influences including Arab, African, Latin, and Balkan rhythms, jazz, and punk. They have released nine albums of wild, spiritual, provocative, reflective, and ecstatically danceable music forever redefining and transcending traditional labels.
