II. Amsterdam Klezmer Band.
An exciting ‘out of the box’ mix of traditional klezmer with Arabic and Indian elements, pop, rap, hip hop, ska and drum & bass. The Amsterdam Klezmer Band has been an innovative klezmer phenomenon for over 25 years, with the raw vocals of the Ukrainian singer Alec Kopyt and an exciting horn section.
The album Bomba Pop has been supplemented with guest artists, giving it an even greater variety of atmospheres. It is innovative and varied, from quiet traditional klezmer to catchy, spicy, festive numbers. The album is dedicated to the late Theo van Tol, accordionist from the very beginning.

III. Monique Lansdorp, Mike Horowitz, Laura Cesar.
In 2004, Dutch violinist Monique Lansdorp teamed up with New Yorker Mike Horowitz (guitar) and Canadian Laura Cesar (bass) for a performance at a folk festival in Corsica… resulting in the album Bessarabian groove produced with beautiful klezmer based Eastern European melodies and their inspired originals.
Monique is a Balkan fiddler with a clear technique and a warm sound. Instead of reproducing traditional music, her trio focuses on the timeless basics: danceability, passion and entertainment.
