Golem! - Fresh Off Boat
Posted June 19th, 2007 by aidan
I'm sure I've probably mentioned it before but I love the Klezmer sound, it sounds so fresh to my western ears.
There are plenty of stomping tracks to dance around to - in fact almost all of them are really upbeat. A couple of songs are even sung in English so I can figure out what's going on some of the time. The production is great on here too.
Charlatan-Ka is great - it sounds like it's going to be a cover of Those Were the Days My Friend. And I know I've heard Golem Hora before but I can't pick from where... oh wait, The Saints (another Klezmer group from Poland) do a version of this too (though I'm sure the melody is more famous than that).
