Amazing, this kind of musika never must be forgotten!

[@gogogeegee76]

Absolutely. Music unites. Can't forget the time when I was almost not allowed entry to a Klezmer concert, because I was not Jewish. My reply to the security mad was : '' Why, do you have to be Jewish to like Klezmer music? ''

[@sukie584]

How would they know if you were Jewish or not? We don’t all wear identifying clothes, or yarmulkes etc.

[@gogogeegee76]

@@sukie584 Just shows the iq of sertain security staff at events, I suppose.

[@mrbutch308]

I love Klezmer music! Good explanation!

[@Courage-to-BE]

I used to play clarinet when I was young. I’ve been listening to you for years and despite being from Canada and not Jewish, I have always been drawn to Klezmer music. I am adopted and my heritage is from Czechoslovakia, so maybe it’s something I carry with me somehow… Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve been playing clarinet again, and it’s wanting to learn how to play Klezmer that was my inspiration to play again…

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:14 🎶 *Klezmer is often described as "Jewish jazz" expressing joy with tears, reflecting the emotional prayers in synagogues.* 02:11 🎭 *Klezmer musicians, not strictly bound by tradition, embraced creativity and rule-breaking, especially in the vibrant context of weddings.* 03:05 💃 *Klezmer music plays a significant role in Jewish weddings, where dancing is considered a mitzvah (good deed) and a reason to be happy.* 04:44 🎻 *Klezmer musicians historically collaborated with gypsies, both being the only groups permitted to be professional musicians outside of orchestras in Russia.* 08:14 🌍 *Klezmer's universal appeal allows it to be mixed with various genres, emphasizing that cultural background doesn't limit musical expression.* Made with HARPA AI
