	the peak (15/2/1999) arts: Hot, hot, hot: the Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band
		But David was kind enough to inform me that here flying bulgar refers not to a carbohydrate but to a type of dance.
		Klezmer, for the uninitiated, comes largely from the ecstatic songs and dances of the Hasidim, ultra-religious Jews well known for their mystical leanings.
		Klezmer, then, is a music of the dispossessed and oppressed; that is why the joy of it is so powerful.

	Klezmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Klezmer is easily identifiable by its characteristic expressive melodies, reminiscent of the human voice, complete with laughing and weeping.
		The freylekh (freilach) or bulgar (bulgarisch) is a (3+3+2 = 8)/8 circle dance, usually in the Ahava Rabboh melodic mode.
		Other klezmer bands look back to different eras or regions, and attempt to recreate specific styles of klezmer--for example, the band Muzsikas has released albums in the 19th-century Rumanian klezmer style, with only violins, tsimbls and other stringed instruments, giving even the happier passages a more haunting feel.

		The Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band — a name that, at first, sounds more like a line from Jabberwocky than from an album sleeve — has taken the world by storm with a revolutionary revival of klezmer-esque proportions.
		Klezmer music, a traditional style of Jewish music played by small, roving bands, has experienced a metamorphosis during the past 15 years.
		Needless to say, the Flying Bulgars — along with several other bands — were in the lead, pulling the bandwagon behind them.

	Montreal Mirror - Music : Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band
		Formed in Toronto in the late '80s, the Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band have become an institution in the klezmer revival scene, having cut five albums, toured all over the place and played at several of my personal friends' bar mitzvahs.
		Klezmer music may have its origins in the traditional festivities of Judaism, but the last two decades have seen it resurrected in a variety of new forms, from the electric skronkiness of Naftuli's Dream to local beatmaker So Called's hip hop khasene.
		They've grown up with the band, and with the music, so for them it's just music that is, as opposed to someone like me, for whom the music was revived.

	KLEZMER MUSIC
		Klezmer music originated in the 'shtetl' (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as 'klezmorim', performed at joyful events ('simkhes'), particularly weddings, since the early middle age till the nazi and Stalinian prosecutions.
		Klezmer music is also an invitation to dance and goes nowadays through a real revival.
		Klezmer music and Yiddish songs include nowadays a huge repertoire in which the whole gamut of human emotions can be expressed, from joy to despair, from devotion to revolt and from meditation to drunkenness, without forgetting...

	About Klezmer Music - 12 Corners Klezmer Band, Rochester, NY
		Klezmer ensembles span the country; Europe can't get enough of it; recordings from the classic to the cutting edge are being released each month; and klezmer's popularity has encouraged musicians like Grisman to explore other styles and traditions of Jewish music, creating a bull market in Jewish "roots music."
		A clue to the broad appeal of klezmer music may be in its historic and geographic origins.
		Necessity spawned klezmer music's rich variety, and the repertoire was often passed down through generations of a single family.

		Klezmer greats get their due props, too: tracks by Dave Tarras, Naftule Brandwein, and a handful of Abe Schwartz compositions give the compilation its backbone.
		And with a klezmer revival in full swing, it's fascinating to return as near as possible to its source to listen to what the Eastern European klezmorim thought the Yiddish community ought to hear on the first 78s full of this vital and joyous music.
		And as the liner notes illustrate, the expression 'oy!'--like klezmer music itself--can be 'a lament, a protest, a cry of dismay, a reflex of delight.' Here the Klezmer Conservatory preserves the singular beauty and breadth of Jewish culture and Yiddish expression associated with the festive holy days of Chanukah.

		The band performs a long program of 25 numbers, many of them introduced with a recitation of the English translation of the Yiddish lyrics set as poems.
		The audience was happy, and stayed for multiple encores, but this was not a program of Jewish wedding and bar-mitzvah music, and though the band asked for and got a lot of audience handclapping, it was not an evening at the pub.
		The Flying Bulgars send this sound out on wings feathered with funk, randb, latin, free jazz and newly discovered material from the Archive of Jewish Music in the Ukraine.

	Live Review: The Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band, Havana Restaurant/Gallery, April 3, 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		As the veteran Toronto band entered the backroom mini-auditorium, their hands clapping out a gypsy-flavoured rythym and their gazes focused intently forward, you knew these guys weren't just dabblers.
		"Klezmer," by the way, means "itinerant musician" in Yiddish and aptly describes the mood and flavour of this band.
		The band followed with some upbeat numbers, including "Sam," a Buchrinder composition inspired by theme music from a defunct children's show, and "Doyne Istanbul," an eerie piece originally recorded in 1905 and reminiscent of Miles Davis.

		Brandwein is the godfather of klezmer, and he along with Dave Tarras made it (alongside the blues) into one of the most influential musical styles of music in America.
		The klezmer revival continues unabated throughout the world, and this Italian entry into the scene is a notable one.
		A clear, winning example of the bands ability to do it all at once is "Danza Immobile," a moody soundtrack piece that reaches deep into the tradition and comes out far removed from it, punched up by a distant sounding flugelhon and a contemporary rock groove.

		I'm getting ready to fly off to Toronto to try to wangle a ticket to the live recording concert for the Bulgar's third album.
		The strangest thing, is that here I am, now, as I said, it's three years later and a lot has happened since I first fell in love with this album--the Klezmatics came out with "Jews with Horns." I listened to more John Zorn.
		Just as I noticed on the first Flying Bulgars album, this band manages to record life along with the notes.
