Klezmer Rebs return to Tokomaru with unique ethnic folk music
The Klezmer Rebs return for their third engagement at the Bent Horseshoe Café in Tokomaru on Saturday 18 May 2013.
The Rebs bring their engaging style of European and Yiddish / klezmer world/folk music born out of the Yiddish/Jewish culture of eastern Europe in the 1800s and 1900s.
Klezmer Rebs instrumentation includes guitar and mandolin, violin, accordion, keyboards, trumpet, bass, recorder and vocals. The ‘Rebs’ play a range of slice-of-life Yiddish klezmer story songs about the ‘old country’. You will also enjoy partisan songs from Italy, Russian folk tunes, French chansons, Latin cowboy love songs, gypsy, and English language jazz and 1940s swing vocal songs. Their own quirky, politically charged multi-lingual originals are some of the most popular crowd tunes.
The Klezmer Rebs recently wowed the crowds at the 2013 Palmerston North Festival of Cultures including as headline act at the Lantern Parade. Here’s your chance to see the ‘Rebs’ in an intimate setting, where they will play some of their more delicate and poignant folk tunes, as well as their raucous foot-tapping tuchas-shaking lively songs.
Make it a great night out for some truly original and amusing world folk music.
