Golem und Romashka
Klezmer fusion music is on a high and the people are ready to listen.... This weekend in Bloomington, Klezmer/Rock band Golem (www.golemrocks.com) will be performing at the Lotus Music Festival while on the East Coast, Romashka (www.romashka.net) will open for the Gipsy Kings at Manhattan hotspot Roxy.
What is all this?
Young people take on klezmer almost like a new language, reinventing basic tunes, enhancing and abandoning any improvisational boundaries---basically leaving genre in the dust. Romashka's latest CD brings together musicians with a variety of backgrounds such a jazz, gipsy, klezmer, classical, bluegrass, it goes on and on. Golem has no qualms about breaking out new forms, even transforming traditional lyrics for the 21st century club maven. It's like your grandmother's famous matzoh ball soup but with a kick of tequila.
Check out Romashka's new music video. You'll be hooked before you know it.

With great interest a salvadorean, I read your detailed research. I want to congratulate you for making beatiful remarks about our wonderful country.
As a physician in exile (US) I also wish someday return to my country.
With your stories and interviews, all just brings me great memories.
I am not a Jew myself, but related to one, like many of us in El Salvador.
Have you heard of the name Kessler?
Well, they are my family.
Very few in El Salvador.
Again, thank you for a wonderful blog.
