Klezmic noiZ 'Davka'
Balkan Klezmer music CD.
Klezmic noiZ is a group of seven true-born Antwerp "di Gojim".
Violinist Deben Benedict Van Damme founded the group end 1996.
Their aim is clear: to bring their own interpretations of klezmer music
from the Yiddish repertoire. Their city roots are injected with the
Jewish heritage and transformed into succulent revelry and melancholic
tunes. Just as their choice of music is not accidental, neither is there
choice of instruments. With the violin as leading melodic instrument,
the group harks back to the oldest traditions of klezmer music, long
before the clarinet made her appearance in the traditional klezmer band.

Janos Sipos began his collection in areas where Bartok had stopped his.
Then, as fewer and fewer new tunes were found, he shifted his field of
research gradually westward. A six-year stay on the spot, the mastery of
the Turkish language, and regular collecting, transcribing and analyzing
work enabled him to prepare a large body of systematized Turkish
material for publication'.
