Klezmer

Klezmer (from Yiddish כּלי־זמיר, kley - instrument and zemer - song; etymologically from Hebrew k’li zemer כלי זמר, “musical instrument”) is a musical tradition which parallels Hasidic and Ashkenazic Judaism.

They draw on devotional traditions extending back into Biblical times, and their musical legacy of klezmer continues to evolve today. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Besh-O-Drom
