Prague Klezmerim.
The word Klezmer means the ability of every person to express themselves through song. The group Prague Klezmerim expresses the viability and perhaps also the indestructibility of this music. Spiritual values have persisted in humans, despite generational differences. They all feel klezmer in the true sense of the word, with their musical creation a source of joy for each of them.
