The Klezmer Rebs have been shaking 'tuchases' (Yiddish for 'bums') in Wellington and places north and south since 2002 and play (mostly) klezmer music, an engaging style of world/folk music born out of the Yiddish/Jewish culture of eastern Europe. Hearing Klezmer Rebs live expect authentic arrangements of old klezmer tunes – from the lively Yiddish wedding music (freylachs and bulgars) to the delicate slice of life stories from the east European shtetl (ghettos). While many of songs are sung in Yiddish, the Rebs also perform partisan songs from Italy, Russian folk tunes, Latin cowboy love songs, Argentine Yiddish Tangos and 1940s swing vocal songs.
