She'Koyokh

She'Koyokh Klezmer Ensemble is a band of professional young musicians dedicated to performing Eastern European folk music, specialising in Ashkenazic melodies once played by Jewish musicians in the shtetis all over Eastern Europe. The culturally diverse group of friends bring a fresh, passionate energy to a varied repertoire, keeping faithfully to the style of nineteenth century Klezmorim, employing characteristic Jewish ornaments, simple harmonies and traditional rhythms.

The band has a unique combination of instruments: clarinet, violin, accordion, mandolin, French horn, cello, double bass, guitar, trombone and percussion, and a unique combination of band members. From the self-taught accordionist of Lithuanian-Jewsih ancestry to the Academy trained clarinettist, the cellist from Brazilian-Sephardi Jewish roots and the Californian-Irish-Jewish mandolinist to the poik player from Wales.
