It's Bavarian, but also Yiddish. It can be rough and wild, but also tender and soulful. Andrea Pancur, Munich-Ramersdorf, and Ilya Shneyveys, Riga-Latvia, get together and play their very finest Alpen Klezmer. They play ancient songs - songs that are so old that even the ancient Bavarian and the old Klezmer musicians back in the day had no idea they were both playing the same thing.
Pancur and Shneyveys have done their research in the archives. They’ve dusted off a few songs, and following their motto “Long live the kosher Alpine-Yodeller”, packed this new material into their rucksacks. The yiddish hora takes the hand of the Bavarian Landler and they dance together, spinning around up to the summit until the Alps are glowing with the sounds of Klezmer.

Alpen Klezmer is back!
Following Andrea Pancur’s first groundbreaking Alpen Klezmer project which won the German World Music Prize and the prize for “Innovation” in folk culture from the City of Munich, she has now packed her kosher yodellers into her knapsack and is heading over the Alps to Italy. She’ll be roaming wherever she pleases, smuggling songs over the mountain passes in search of Yiddish Land until no one can really tell if Munich isn’t in fact somewhere in Italy. As always, she’ll follow her heart wherever it takes her, but who knows exactly where? One thing’s for sure – it’ll be rough and wild but also tender and soulful. Yodellers melting into Nigunim, Italian-Jewish pesach songs blending with Bavarian ballads, and all to the backing of the sound of the warm, lapping waters of the Mediterranean.
