Music
Klezmer is music originating with Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews and the diaspora thereof, though the word wasn't used to identify the musical genre until the late 20th century. It's most often danceable, with both joyful and mounful melodic and instrumental elements. As of this writing, I'm planning on attending my first klezmer concert in nearly 20 years and pretty excited about it.

Perhaps it's my imagination, but I hear common threads shared by klezmer and other styles. If you listen to any other of the other musics listed below, do you hear their similarities wth klezmer that I do?
