Klezperanto

With solid klezmer roots, spectacular technical virtuosity and a wry sense of humor, clarinetist Ilene Stahl and the hottest musicians from the klezmer scene re-groove Yiddish and Mediterranean melodies with zydeco, funk, cumbia, rockabilly and Romanian surf music. "It's not your [grandpa's] klezmer", according to The Boston Globe, which goes on to report that this "whirlwind of a band" plays "a dance mix so potent, it should carry a warning label."
