Description

Klezmer is a traditional Eastern European Jewish music genre characterized by expressive clarinet melodies, violin flourishes, and rhythms drawn from wedding celebrations and folk dances. The sound blends joyful, danceable energy with deeply emotional passages that reflect both celebration and melancholy. Modern klezmer often incorporates influences from Balkan, Roma, and contemporary styles while maintaining its distinctive Jewish cultural roots.
