Bio:

Alec Kopyt has roots going back to Odessa, a port city where Russian, Jewish, Greek, Turkish and Romany cultures mixed, and where he himself grew up among thieves, prostitutes and swindlers. He began playing the accordion when he was ten years old.

Alec is an expert on the tradition of Jewish song in Eastern Europe, and he sticks to an emotional interpretation of these classics. A real keeper of the flame, he is also very open minded. So it’s no surprise that he has collaborated with the Amsterdam Klezmer Band, and has also maintained his own project POZA through various lineups for many years.
