Klezmer is the music of Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, particularly Poland, Romania, Russia and Ukraine. Both passionate and intense, and at times wild and frenetic, klezmer music has absorbed a lot of East-European and gypsy folk music, combining it with a typically Jewish expressiveness. Apart from being highly enthralling, Klezmer is also a musical form which is in constant development, it is music which works well with new and modern sounds and instruments. KlezRoym, Italy's top klezmer group, take their inspiration from the Askenazite, (Eastern-European hebrew community) and Sefardite (Spanish-Hebrews) traditions and then mix these sounds with different musical cultures (Mediterranean, Middle-Eastern, Italian), thereby creating a fascinating musical bridge between ethnic / traditional music and contemporary jazz sounds.
