The Chicago Klezmer Ensemble - Early Recordings (Full Album)

[@Al-Brown_BluesChannel]

Much love from Germany from a half German, half Palestinian ... Just great music. That's all I can say folks.

[@Baruch-q4n]

Though living in London England ,originally from Thessaloniki Greece.I am totaly Sephardi and love our Ladino songs and music.But I also deeply do feel and love klezmer.Only knowing very little yiddish at the present,I intend to learn more in London.Shalom aliechem ! To all.

[@Sophiex7]

same here!

[@jeanneamato8278]

I loooove klezmer music.

[@Hy-Brasil]

This is a miracle..... i've been searching for this brand of music for several years - ten to be exact. I only heard a tiny fraction of it in a John Tams song. not identical but very very close - maybe more tambourine in his. it made me think of gypsies with just a tinge of old rag time. I was enthralled. it just sounded so fun. but i had no idea what the style was called to begin looking for more. I finally had to give up... only to have it just randomly appear on my feed this morning. i don't even know why i opened that video. i guess it called to me. anyway, found it! sure hope my family doesn't mind 😁

[@maxbarrett2135]

Fab one, cheers!

[@NadavHbr]

Many people notice the similarities between Klezmer music and Greek and Near Eastern music. Yale Strom writes in “The Book of Klezmer” - “one of the three major sources that created the Klezmer’s core dance repertoire was Greco Turkish dance music”. He goes on to explain traveling Jewish musicians learned tunes from fellow Rom (“Gypsy”) traveling musicians. East European Jewish music drew from all sorts of local musical styles

[@wallachusd]

Right. Klezmer, I must add, is a nice to hear music, full of spirit.

[@echerlin]

Gypsy music, too. Jewish klezmorim toured with Gypsy musicians playing at each other's weddings.

[@jkevinknefel1495]

Makes sense to me !!! There is quite a few transitional form's of music 🎵 🎶.🤠🤔

[@samuel0851]

Not to forget strong Ukrainian and Romanian influences

[@DinamicJonMMusikGermany]

The music reminds me of Romanian folk music...I played that with my music band for 13 years, and I'm currently busy with it.🎼🎸😀

[@deanronson6331]

It reminds you of Romanian music because klezmer is a conglomeration of sounds from the Balkans (in turn influenced by the long Ottoman rule), Eastern Europe, and Gypsy music. In music, everybody borrows from everyone else.

[@medievalmusiclover]

Clarinet is indeed the king of this music style. In other words, Clarinet is the soul of Klezmer. Some times other instruments shall leading but I think Clarinet has the more influential and suggested timber, dynamic, range, power, and expression.

[@jewbearidk]

and the fiddle?

[@scottcopeland1584]

I've thought that for a long time. Klezmer clarinet is uniquely expressive and soulful.

[@dimikaitanidis8612]

it s crazy and wonderfull that this form of the clarinette playing is prevalent also through the whole of the Balkans from Greece up to Romania and basically a big piece of slavic countries... it s like i m hearing greek music... Klezmer sounds incedibly familiar to greek / balkanic ears... HAJDE !!!!!

I am currently writting an essay about klezmer and I thought why not to listen to some while writting, and I must say it is amazing! I love it

[@kostaskolomitroushs2813]

Klezmer, Balkan, Gipsy, rebetiko, they all originated from Byzantium and the minor Asia where Greeks, Armenians, Gypsies, Jews and Turks all lived together. It expanded in the Balkans and after the fall if Ottoman Empire and the flee of Greeks from minor Asia it went worldwide. Gipsy guitar swing and Jewish swing were spread all over the world. It is not a coincidence that modern greek swing bands make covers of rebetiko songs into swing all the time.

[@arastoomii4305]

What amazes me is the traces of makam/middle eastern music, which was of course shared by all peoples, turks persians arabs armenians assyrians and jews ofcourse, they have preserved melody types and formulas and modes :o

[@megazekemeister]

I would say that the proximity of Eastern Europe to the Caucasus and Middle East is what affected the style of Jewish music there. Klezmer is a style that developed in Eastern Europe under many influences, it doesn't have ancient Jewish roots. Western European Jewish music, both Ashkenazi and Sephardic show no Middle Eastern influences.

[@TheEleonorebie]

Moldova and part of Hungary were in the Ottoman Empire for quite a while... A good reference (if not the best) is Zev Feldman's book. He has an appendix about modality in klezmer music, with comments about the awareness of Turkish Makam in Klezmer Music www.worldcat.org/title/klezmer-music-history-and-memory/oclc/975259347&referer=brief_results

[@Henriflute]

@@megazekemeister Greek, bulgarian, romanian stuff and even russian, where western meets eastern. Greeks uses some makam(modes) but adapt some of these modes to equal tempered(without quarter tones) for using harmonies together with them. Basically eastern europe combines european music with some oriental influence added to the mix. In the case of Klezmer they use a lot of Hijaz( phrygian with a major 3th instead) and Nikriz also known as Romanian minor (is like a dorian but with augmented 4th) the augmented forth gives a very mystic, spooky sound to this mode. Greeks and bulgarians uses a lot more different combinations.

Sha Sha Di Shviger Kumt was also sung by the Stoliner Khasidim. I learned it as a child and in the "gig" book of a Stoliner klezmer he titled the tune "Stoliner Skotshne."

[@vgeoimusik]

Un fel de mai multe feluri, foarte simpatic și plăcut urechii. La a doua interpretare am sesizat și o asemănare cu un cântec românesc: "Nu-ți pare rău când vezi că plâng..." Ascult în continuare,cine știe ce mai descopăr. Oricum, e o nebunie frumoasă iar interpreții sunt profesioniști. Sper din suflet sa fie și români în orchestră și să nu uite de unde au plecat.
