Klezmer and KlezMeds The word Klezmer comes from two Hebrew words. Klay, which means "vessel of" - and Zemer, meaning "song".

It's a Yiddish word for musical instrument and is used to describe the dance music of Eastern European, Ashkenazi Jews. It's also a term for the musicians. Klezmer is the music that speaks to the heart. It's balkans and blues, ancient Jewish culture and prayer and history, spirit and jazz all mixed together. Good klezmer, and the music inspired by it, demands that one dance. In the words immortalized by Emma Goldman: "If your revolution doesn't include klezmer, I don't want it."
Our band entertains in all music styles: Klezmer, Israeli, Dance, Yiddish, Sephardic, Hassidic, and more. at festivals and concerts, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, & other events for their own amusement and ... the enjoyment of our hosts.
Our San Diego Jewish Band is made of amateur musicians (but mostly professionals doctors, ie that's where the word KlezMeds is coming from): fiddle, accordion, clarinet, vocal & percussion.
