The Klezmatics Identity System

The Klezmatics are Grammy-winning world-renowned superstars of the klezmer world. They erupted out of New York City’s East Village in 1986 and revitalized klezmer music for the new century.

Their klezmer is one steeped in Jewish spiritualism and Eastern European tradition while incorporating more provocative themes such as social rights and anti-fundamentalism with eclectic musical influences such as gospel, punk, and Arab, African, and Balkan rhythms. Over the course of nearly twenty-five years, they have released ten albums of wild, spiritual, provocative, reflective, and ecstatically danceable music, forever redefining and transcending traditional labels.
