GUEST,Mark Cohen (in Kona) New Klezmer CD from Hawaii (1) New Klezmer CD from Hawaii 05 Jul 03


Hawaii's own klezmer music ensemble, Kona's Traveling Jewish Wedding Band, has just released their long-awaited CD, "Shaloha Oy". I'd recommend this one even if my friends weren't in the band! With violins, contra-bass balalaika, vocals, keyboard, guitar, clarinet, French horn and congas, the band plays for parties, weddings, anniversaries, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, concerts and other celebrations all around the islands, with a repertoire of Israeli, Russian, Yiddish, klezmer, freilach and other music of the Yiddish theater, from horas to waltzes and even Jewish-Hawaiian songs!

In the words of the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart: "This music is better than matzoh ball soup!" Check it out!

Aloha,
Mark
