These five musicians are like the fingers of a virtuoso’s hand
playing music without borders, without limits… Klezmer music, from the
shtetels of Eastern Europe. They perpetuate the tradition of the
“wandering people”, immersed in all the rhythms, melodies and modes
encountered along the way. “Yankele” means “little-John”, yet their art
is grand. Coming from very different horizons —classical, jazz,
chanson, bossa-nova— the musicians unite their talent, their
instruments and even their voices to expand their creativity. They take
us on a journey between Paris and the origins of Klezmer music,
blending French waltzes, Gypsy songs, Israeli lullabies and many more
with tenderness, humour, and generosity.
