Dress Up like a Rabbi! Dance to the Klezmer! כּלי־זמיר

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Musical geniuses have had trouble in the mastery of the art of the Klezmer. These musicians, Andrew Markham, John Herman, Gustavo Bulgach and Dan Weinstein show off their skillzzz in this performance at Bordello bar in Downtown Los Angeles.

From Wikipedia on Klezmer:

“…is a musical tradition which parallels Hasidic and Ashkenazic Judaism. Around the 15th century, a tradition of secular (non-liturgical) Jewish music was developed by musicians called klezmorim or kleyzmurim. They draw on devotional traditions extending back into Biblical times, and their musical legacy of klezmer continues to evolve today. The repertoire is largely dance songs for weddings and other celebrations. Due to the Ashkenazi lineage of this music, the lyrics, terminology and song titles are typically in Yiddish.”

Feel the jew inside you and look at this Rabbi Costume. Such a deal!
