Just as I was starting to tire of the constant deluge of”new” kezmer and “gypsy jazz” vaudeville-y type bands passing thru Santa Cruz the last couple of years, along comes Kabbalah from Marseille, France putting a whole new fresh spin on this genre. Their stir fry of funky hip hop, punchy brass, Middle Eastern and Asian melodies whipped with smart pop sensibilites done klezmer style. I can see why Kabbalah coined this mash up “Yiddish Dada”.
