Have been listening to a bunch of new old tracks by this #Greek fiddler Alexis Zoumbas today, they're all great but this Romanian-style doina is so excellent. Some quality fiddling.

A #klezmer tune I've been listening on repeat the last few days which is a lot of fun is this (mostly) major key fast bulgar with a distinctly #Romanian feel by Harry Beckerman's "Metronome" orchestra.

Love the whimsy and especially the crescendo building up before the A section repeats. Haven't heard this tune played by any klezmer revivalists yet.

Here's a live video of him from the 80s - not so great audio or video quality but nonetheless a sight to behold

Still on my kick of listening to #Romanian #Cobza music and came across this excellent album with its very striking cover on youtube

A longtime friend and fellow #klezmer #Romanian and #Ukrainian music fan I knew from Ottawa gave me the pick of some of his LPs at the concert last night😱⏺️ like me he mostly finds them in thrift store bins. I only took a few because I travelled with carry-on luggage but these are some excellent finds. The Cyrillic text ones are Ukrainian or Bucovina string bands, I think. #FolkMusic #ThriftStoreFinds #UkrainianMusic #RomanianMusic
