Originally the wedding and festive music of Eastern European Jews, klezmer spread around the world with emigration to America and is sometimes combined with other musical styles such as jazz, pop, rock or ska. Klezmer music is characterized by its melody lines reminiscent of the human voice, which create a sobbing sound.
If you want to dive deeper into the musical world of klezmer, De Haske Play Klezmer! is a good choice.

The edition is especially suitable for advanced players, as the moderately difficult arrangements are already a bit more challenging.
