Description
The international klezmer revival takes many different paths. Indeed its not really appropriate to refer to it as revival, as it suggests that klezmer died and has been brought back to life, but this is clearly untrue. For instance, in America, the music never died, but it did lose popularity and underwent many changes. It is only in the past three decades that musicians have re-popularised and fed a need from within the culture to listen again to the music from the old world. But also in the old world, klezmer gained increasing popularity, even in Eastern Europe after the communist era. As it matures in Russia, klezmer begins to make the club scene again.
