The Kugels - Albertown
Location: Albert Town Tavern, 20 Alison Ave
Region: Albertown
Dates: Sat, 8 October 2016 @ 7.30pm
It’s music that makes you want to dance - spirited, wild and haunting.
Now four top musicians have joined together to form the band of their dreams, The Kugels.
Each musician is celebrated in his/her own right, but it is a shared passion for klezmer music that has brought them together.
The folk idiom of the Jewish people, klezmer was originally played at weddings and other celebrations in Eastern and Central Europe. The music gained popularity in America with the arrival of Yiddish speaking immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, assimilating jazz elements into the mix.
The Kugels play klezmer, but it is the ‘original’ pre-jazz klezmer, influenced by revivalists this century, as well as repertoire Soviet and Israeli immigrants brought to the US in the 1980s.
“Traditional and original tunes played with sensitivity and passion.”
