Awesome Klezmer music and songs collections

The Yiddish word Klezmer is derived from the Hebrew words, klay (instrument) and zemer (music). So, obviously, the literal meaning of Klezmer is "instrument of song". It has its roots centuries ago in the shtetlach (Jewish villages) of Eastern Europe, where it was originally meant to imitate the voice/music of the chazzan (cantor) in the synagogue. The first Klezmer tunes were in fact based on the chanted Hebrew melodies of the Jewish service. Klezmer played an integral part in the culture and celebrations of Eastern European Jewry. Some of the "traditional" instruments in the bands were clarinet, violin, flute and accordion

Klezmer music is enjoying a remarkable comeback. There are now traditional and non-traditional Klezmer Bands in all corners of the world, and once again Klezmer is popular in Jewish celebrations, as well as non-Jewish ones. The non-traditional Klezmer music of present day is influenced not only by its Eastern European roots, gypsy melodies and balkan music, but also by Israeli horas, jazz, and the folk music of other lands. It includes a large variety of musical instruments, and many bands also feature vocals
