Klezmer music...
Klezmer is the music that Jewish troubadours used to peddle from one celebration to another, from one "shtetl" (village) to a ghetto, in Eastern Europe, since the Middle Ages. Rocked in liturgy, inspired by ecstatic Hasidic melodies and secular songs, he slummed in hostels and enriched with theater and folk dances. In symbiosis with Slavic, Gypsy, and Ottoman music, it acquired an incomparable diversity and richness of expression. With changing paces, slight dissonance, ornamentation and a touch of improvisation, klezmer encourages spirituality and dancing. It is able to express all emotions, joy and sadness, meditation, love, or drunkenness, without forgetting the (Jewish!) humor! Torn from Europe by Nazism and Stalinism, he was engrafted to jazz in America before becoming again popular worldwide. Perpetuating the klezmer tradition without freezing
it, HOTEGEZUGT ('sez he!' in Yiddish) was formed and deformed since
thanks to a few musicians who love klezmer and Jewish music... It plays
a lot of klezmer and Yiddish themes, Israeli and Sephardic songs, and
some of its own compositions, all arranged in his own way and sometimes
mixed with classical and swing… |
