7.Klezmer Music

Hi everybody  , today  in this free post I have to talk about a matter that I chose .

So , I thought , and I want to talk about Klezmer Music, because is an genre that  I’m interested about , and I really like it’s  melodies and rhythm .

What  is Klezmer Music? .Originally, the word “klezmer” , from the Yiddish language, meant “musician”. The Klezmer music  is the folk Yiddish music ,it’s traditional of Yiddish , it is full history and emotion . In the beginning, it was used, for religious events, weddings, funerals, and joyful celebrations.    

One characteristic is that the instruments have to  imitate the  voice , principally with the violin or the clarinet .It’s commonly said that  the music has “ to  make the clarinet cry” or violin. The interpretation should  be very expressive .

Klezmer music in  time has been  influenced by other  styles,incorporating various sounds of music from European and international traditions , like Roman (gypsy)music, Russian music.      

The common instruments of Kezmer music  are  violin , clarinet , bass , drums , accordion .  The old musicians learned by themselves   .

Today klezmer music is open to everyone , and has  mutated with other styles.

Well , check it  out  by yourself  . Here is a  music video of traditional Klezmer  Music ,  enjoy it
