This is Jewish music enjoying itself! The instrumental pieces are lively, exciting and fun either to listen or dance to. Performed by the widely acclaimed British Jewish music ensemble, The Burning Bush, the music comes from the repertoire of the Klezmer musicians. These artists made up itinerant bands who played for weddings and other celebrations in the Ashenazi world of Eastern Europe up until 1939. Their music was influenced by the broad range of cultures they encountered included elements of Romanian, Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, Greek, Turkish, Hungarian and gypsy music. Played on traditional instruments (violin, viola, clarinet, percussion, accordion, trumpet, hammer dulcimers, double bass), the music captures the authentic spirit and zest of the original dance tunes and folk songs.
