The Klezmatics - Rhythm + Jews Revisited

 

The Klezmatics — Rhythm + Jews Revisited

Limited edition eco-friendly Biovinyl pressing!

Originally released in the pre-digital era, the Klezmatics' groundbreaking album, "Rhythm and Jews" has been out of print for years and never made its way to modern platforms-until now. The record has been cleaned up, remastered and sounds better than ever.

This is the album that put the Klezmatics on the map with iconic songs as "Fun Tashlikh," "Di Sapozhkelekh," "NY Psycho Freylekhs," and "Shnirele Perele." The re-issue features alternative versions of the album's iconic tracks, unearthed from recently discovered master files.

This is the first in a series of reissues celebrating the band's 40th anniversary in late 2025 and early 2026. For those who have previously enjoyed Rhythm + Jews or are longtime aficionados of The Klezmatics, this special edition offers fresh nuances and details previously unheard. Newcomers to the band or those yet to experience this album are in for a genuine treat of a significant piece of klezmer history.

Klezmer music has played a crucial role in the preservation of the Yiddish language and culture and has contributed in innumerable ways to the language of global music.
