About the Klezmer Revival:
The story goes that Henry Sapoznik, one of the founding members of Kapelye, one of the original 'Klezmer Revival" bands, was down south trying to learn some traditional banjo licks from one of the old timey players and was asked, "don't you Jewish people have ethnic music of your own?" Indeed, Jewish musicians by the score emigrated to the United States at the end of the last century and the first decades of this century. Here they found jazz and other world music cultures. For a few decades an American klez style flourished. You could hear the influences of the Greek and Balkan and Eastern European melodies left behind, but this Americanishe version was also influenced by music from America--especially jazz. Parallel to klez was the Yiddish theatre, and the golden age of Jewish Cantors, and the Yiddish folk traditions. Then our parents and grandparents became "good Americans," and by the Sixties, klez was an unimaginative arrangement of "Sunrise, Sunset," played at Jewish weddings and old folks homes ...

The German Klezmer Page: For all those not knowing what Klezmer is like (too many people, I guess ;-)) I'll try to give a definition.
The word klezmer itself comes from the Aramaeic "kli" and "zemer" and means in the true sense "the human being becomes the bearer of the song". Nowadays klezmer stands for a music style and the musician performimg this kind of music. Klezmer originally is the music of (east)european Jews, performed during any kind of festivities by wandering musicians, the klezmorim. Klezmer music has been influenced by any culture of this world, and it did it's influences to any culture of this world ...
Für alle, die nicht wissen, was Klezmer ist, hier der Versuch einer Definition.
Das Wort Klezmer ist entstanden aus den aramäischen Wortstämmen "Kli" und "Zemer" und bedeutet ursprünglich "der Mensch macht sich zum Überbringer des Liedes" (H. Eisel). Heute bezeichnet Klezmer einen Musikstil und den Musiker, der diese Musik macht. Klezmer ist im Ursprung die Musik (ost)europäischer Juden, dargeboten auf Festen aller Art von umherziehenden Musikern, den Klezmorim. Klezmermusik wurde von allen Kulturen der Welt beeinflusst,und sie hat alle Kulturen der Welt beeinflusst ...

Living Traditions Inc., founded in 1994, is dedicated to the study, continuity and innovative popularization of community-based traditional folk culture.
Living Traditions, founded in 1994, is dedicated to the celebration and continuity of community-based traditional Yiddish culture. Living Traditions brings the lush bounty of Yiddish culture to new generations in ways both inspiring and relevant to contemporary Jewish life. Not as a symbol of a lost world, or as a “duty” to perpetuate but as a meaningful part of one’s active personal identity in a multi-cultural world. Living Traditions places a high value on cultural literacy by presenting Yiddish music, dance, history, folklore, crafts and visual arts through its classes, publications, recordings and documentaries as well as through “KlezKamp: The Yiddish Folk Arts Program,” now in its 20th year. Living Traditions thus encourages the development of a worldwide Jewish community knowledgably steeped in its language, culture and traditions, too often forgotten in modern Jewish life.
