Klezmer--a Yiddish word for a folk musician--refers to traditional Jewish dance melodies from Eastern Europe. The lost art of the klezmer has been revived over the past three decades as part of the World Music movement. Traditionally played at weddings and other celebrations, klezmer music has now become part of the performance arts repertoire and includes songs of the Yiddish theater in addition to folk music.
As Jewish immigrants came to America, they brought this style with them, but quickly the adapted it to American tastes and instrumentation. The result? A very organic fusion of everything from Russian dances, Chassidic drinking songs and Hungarian gypsy bravado blended with Dixieland, early jazz and swing and even a Yiddishe Rhumba! Because of this, a klezmer concert is a true variety show.
