Klezmer in....Hungary?

Introducing Bob Cohen "The 49-year-old, Bronx-born Cohen is the leader of local Klezmer phenomenon Di Naye Kapelye, who are playing their first public performance in Budapest since 1998 tonight at Kuplung. Unlike most of the bands that cater to the roots tourists and handful of others who crave Yiddish folk music in Hungary, Di Naye Kapelye is determinedly old-style, cranking out selections from a repertoire they have built 'running around Eastern Europe and Brooklyn with a tape recorder looking for old Magyar Jewish music.' (You can hear some tracks here.)

Enjoy!
