  Cry for me, Argentina by Ian Dando | New Zealand Listener
This young Argentinian tosses you through a wild spin of Jewish kletzmer style in The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind.
For all its killjoy title, this is kletzmer on steroids.
It needs a folk-trained clarinettist who can rough it up with the whole range from bass clarinet to the Eb piccolo, and change them on the run.

 [Leica] How to fill a church in Denmark: have a Kletzmer concert!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
When I was in Copenhagen two weeks ago, some friends dragged me to a Kletzmer concert.
Kletzmer music has become very popular in Denmark in recent years; and since the godless Danes do not go to church much, churches are often used for non-religious events.
So it was here: the group Mazel played in a suburban church on a Sunday afternoon.

 Featuring Kroke at the Bigos Bar
Taking the Yiddish word for Kraków, Kroke, as the name for their band, they forged a musical style based on traditional Kletzmer but heavily influenced by Jazz, Folk, even a touch of psychedelia.
As Ari Davidow put it in his 1997 review, "The music is too dark to really represent traditional klezmer.

 Moni Ovadia / Theaterorchestra
If you can, you should listen later theater-orchestra stuff too, since their new singer's voice deserves much admiration, even though someone could find it too `technical' from Ms.
BTW Maybe I'm really hearing Kletzmer in a backwards fashion, since Mr.
Ovadia has been the first kletzmer singer I've heard, and I've gone to Kletzmatic's concerts only later; I think you should try and find more about the Cohanim brothers `Kletzroym' too...

 (musings) Masada review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In Masada, Zorn has found three top-drawer collaborators and a simple but inspirational concept, equal parts Jewish kletzmer and early Ornette.
Zorn's indebtedness to Coleman, most forcefully expressed on his paint-stripping Spy vs Spy album, is here in spades, and Douglas makes a wonderfully irreverent Don Cherry.
From this foundation, they move freely between bebop and no-wave figurations and, yes, kletzmer, in the way that Zorn attacks his more melodic phrases and, of course, in his composition.

 Guardian | Topol the pops
Admittedly, it has been tinkered with so that those dancing to it in London's fashionable clubs, such as Cargo, are not aware it is klezmer.
Oi Va Voi's kletzmer - with its electric violin, drumkit, bass and load of pre-recording studio sampling and scratching - has more of the feel of hip-hop.
Oi Va Voi have just returned from Ayia Napa, where they were the headlining act for five beach raves.

 Norsk Musikkinformasjon: Distorted accordion and Kletzmer antics
Kletzmer-music played an important role in Berlin, and we all know the fate met by its performers during the 30s and 40s.
The Kletzmer left a heavy influence on POING’s fantastic encore.
In a masterly way, POING showed us what Berlin’s musical identity is, as the saxophone’s trembling voice sang the same way the jiddisch clarinets do.

 [No title]
While Kusturica has his Balkan-punk ensemble Non Smoking Band, Jackmann has his Wunderkammer – the latter could possibly share rehearsal studio with the former in Sarajevo.
As the reader would have guessed, the genre in question is Balkan-inspired music with an additional solid dose of Jewish Kletzmer as well as more Central-European sources of inspiration from Weill and Brecht.
We’re talking crying violins, sombre accordions as well as a lonely bowed saw in one instant and a all-out vodka-drenched Gypsy-party in the next instant.

 BBC - World Review - Gilad Atzmon, Exile
David Krakauer's Kletzmer Madness - The Twelve Tribes
The first bars of 'Dal'ouna', an ominous bowed double bass, an incantatory vocal in Arabic from the Palestinian singer Reem Kelani and soprano saxophone from Gilad Atzmon himself, usher you into Exile with a striking introduction.
While some may find Exile's premise provocative, it's satisfying music that reaffirms the essentially constructive nature of collaboration.

 11th European Student Seminar on Graduate Work in Canadian Studies, Berlin, Germany   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Altogether twenty-eight students from eight European countries participated in the seminar.
A wide range of disciplines was represented, and there was also a rich programme accompanying the event: a visit to the Jewish museum, an oriental buffet with kletzmer music, a boat trip on the Spree through Berlin, a final shared dinner.
Evaluations revealed very strong support for the seminar – not only this particular seminar, but the idea of the seminar in general and the opportunity it offers to graduate students to get together with their peers working in Canadian Studies.

Last Monday night I went to a concert at the Gasteig for the Jewish Culture days.
They had a Kletzmer band there on Monday and a great story teller who told stories in Yiddish.
If you understand German, Yiddish sounds real nice - I understood about 90% of it.
