The humans’s Republic of Klezmerica

From the Big Muddy website:

“Hillbilly music in America has its parallels with hillbilly music in Eastern Europe, though there are few direct hyperlinks within the two. Klezmer is Jewish dance music interweaving melodies and modes brought up from Israel with the music of surrounding Polish, Greek, Romanian, Ukrainian and Gypsy cultures. The People’s Republic of Klezmerica is a young, acoustic sextet from Columbia, Mo. whose energy brings a raw edge to the style, infusing it with their own sense of Jewish-Hillbilly exuberance from the Ozark borderlands.”
