@maggotfrom1993 …
@maggotfrom1993 There are a lot of reciprocal influences between the gypsies and klezmer musicians; some even participated in bands together. That’s usually associated with the Carpathians, Hungary and Rumania where there were more gypsies – I’m not sure how many were in the Ukraine and Belorus, where most of this music was heard, but Jewish music migrates around. In any case, the Eastern European flavor is always there, albeit with a strong Middle East flavor in much of it.

@Balloonlove2004 ppl haven’t ever treated each other as brothers out of arms, comrades without rifles pointed the same direction. a brotherhood forged from violence is a false, treacherous brotherhood. ppl have insulted each other with violence since time immemorial. doesn’t make it right. it sure as doesn’t justify further violence. when you pick up a rifle against your fellow man you’re a poor soul, indeed. only the righteous stand up without arms.

@nounever Most of …
@nounever Most of these dance tunes have no specific name, and are identified more by type (freilach, bulgar, etc), unless there were specific lyrics, which in most cases there aren’t. This particular melody is more likely to be Chassidic than standard “klezmer”, which is kind of a generic term which also includes more secular music. This song has appeared on recent Chassidic recordings, but is not well known.

@rebshaya2 but it involves a fiddler so it is Klezmer

@rebshaya2 some of the band were Jewish some were just Russian I only remember hearing it but what is the actual specific name of it?
June 19th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
@nounever Just …
@nounever Just curious: you remember if it was a Jewish band or a non-Jewish one? (Not that it says much about the origin of the tune; they were pretty freely exchanged from Jews to non-Jews and vice versa)

@nounever This is a “freilachs” transcribed in Kiev in 1915. I believe it has been used as a melody for the dancing on the festival of Simchas Torah (called a “Hakafah Nigun”) and/or a melody used for the “Mitzvah Tanz” at Jewish weddings.
