The Klezmatics
Since their emergence more than 25 years ago, the Klezmatics have raised the bar for Eastern European Jewish music, made aesthetically, politically and musically interesting recordings, inspired future generations, created a large body of work that is enduring, and helped to change the face of contemporary Yiddish culture. Often called a “Jewish roots band,” the Klezmatics have led a popular revival of this ages-old, nearly forgotten art form.
For Hannukkah, the band offers a program from their recent Grammy-winning featuring recently discovered Woody Guthrie lyrics. The Klezmatics bring their hip, East Village sensibility to this favorite time of the year, when candles and family warmth light up the dark nights.
