Madame Klezovitch
World Music
Madame Klezovitch’s repertoire recreates the melodies of the klezmorim ensembles, the wandering musicians who performed wedding music from village to village in the Ashkenazi Jewish communities of the ancient region of Bessarabia (current-day Moldova, Romania and Ukraine). Today, we know this type of wedding music as Klezmer music. The songs are in Yiddish, an ancient German dialect mixed with Hebrew and Russian, spoken at the time by the Eastern European communities.
