The Klezmatics have made their name by blurring the lines of tradition with a modern sonic aesthetic. Since they
erupted in New York’s East Village in 1986, the KLEZMATICS have spearheaded the revival of Klezmer music,
reclaimed it as a contemporary form, and thrown a great party in the process. They have managed to produce more
than fifteen years of consistantly excellent recordings and performances that celebrate the ecstasy of Yiddish music.
Their music is by turn wild, spiritual, provocative, reflective and danceable.

The Klezmatics worked with the Woody Guthrie Archives to compose new music for a large collection
of ‘lost’ lyrics that Guthrie wrote addressing a wide variety of Jewish themes. The group has performed the Guthrie
material in venues around the world.
