The Klezmatics are internationally-renowned world music superstars—and the only Klezmer band to ever win a Grammy Award. The Klezmatics emerged out of the vibrant cultural scene of New York City’s East Village in 1986, with klezmer steeped in Eastern European Jewish tradition and spirituality, while incorporating contemporary Arab, African, Latin, Balkan, jazz, and punk musical influences. Over the course of 20 years and nine albums, The Klezmatics have continued making music that is wild, mystical, provocative, reflective, and ecstatically danceable.
