The Klezmatics: Happy Joyous Hanukkah

Celebrate the holidays with The Klezmatics, the Grammy-winning klezmer superstars who revolutionized Yiddish music. Emerging from New York City’s East Village in 1986, they infuse traditional Eastern European Jewish sounds with bold contemporary themes like human rights and anti-fundamentalism. Their genre-blending music draws from Latin stomps, jazz riffs, and rhythms of the Balkans, Middle East, Africa, and America, making klezmer relevant to new generations.

Through their ecstatic, socially conscious music, The Klezmatics transcend labels, continually reshaping Jewish culture and leaving an indelible mark on world music.
