| Since they began in 1996, the Amsterdam Klezmer Band has developed into a
renowned live band on the world, Klezmer and Balkan scenes. This septet has
built up a loyal following among audiences in The Netherlands, Europe and around
the world. Their strength lies in grabbing a wide variety of world, pop and jazz
aficionados by the short hairs through their virtuoso live performances. It is no
wonder that the press describe them as ?Whipping up and moving audiences? and
being ?both unique and recognizable, profound and varied.? Going to one of their
gigs means it?s party time: time to dance, laugh and ?go crazy?. They are a favorite
among their fellow musicians and many of their original songs have been covered
and remixed by such renowned producers as their label mate Shantel. In May 2011
their ?Katla? album was awarded the German Record Critics? Prize. The members of
that jury, which presents this prize to outstanding music productions, are recognized
music experts who are totally independent of the industry. |
