KLEZMOGRAPHERS & FRIENDS PLAY KMDMP.

The klezmer violin/tsimbl duo, Barbes regulars since 2006, invites some friends to explore the archival collections recently uncovered at the National Vernadsky Library in Ukraine, and tell the story of how this music miraculously reached us from the 1910s ethnographic expedition into the depths of Yiddishland.

With Eléonore Biezunski (violin, vocals), Pete Rushefsky (tsimbl), Christina Crowder (accordion), Keryn Kleiman (violin) and guests.
