The AMSTERDAM KLEZMER BAND story began in 1996. A few Amsterdam boys with Jewish backgrounds became inspired by the catchy sounds of Klezmer music and started busking. Since that time the band has evolved into a seven-member formation which is now the Klezmer and Balkan music pride of the Netherlands. Their lengthy time on the road and extensive experience are now paying off spectacularly. The band just keeps getting better and better and has again reached a new level with their newest cd Zaraza. Here’s what the renowned Dutch daily paper NRC handelsblad has to say about the AMSTERDAM KLEZMER BAND:”This group has very little to offer to ‘Klezmer-purists’ since Klezmer was never meant to be polished and perfected for concert halls. With their festive approach they take the music out of the conservatory corridors into the street.” It is 2009 and the AKB has been blessed with many enthusiastic fans both in the Netherlands and abroad. Other bands are covering AKB songs and remixes of their tracks are found worldwide. Over the past few years they have performed at many prestigious venues around the world, including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and at important festivals such as North Sea Jazz, Ashkenaz, Sziget and Lowlands. The Amsterdam Klezmer bug is spreading...

SALUDOS A TODOS USTEDES, GRANDES MAESTROS! su klezmer me ha compuesto la vida... fue un gusto enorme poder conocerlos en persona aca en méxico...les mando siempre las mejores de las suertes. VUELVAN PRONTO! siempre seran bienvenidos, AMSTERDAM KLEZMER BAND ES LA MEJOR BANDA DE KLEZMER EN TODO EL PINCHE PLANETA! es en serio, me iba tan mal antes de conocerlos, y despues... cualquier cosa meparece sencilla, sin problemas... aun tengo vida, aun viven mis padres, aun soy relativamente joven... a mis 23 años, se que el sello crecera como un roble... aun hay mucho camino por recorrer,tengo todo para salir adelante, salud de las cosas mas importantes... y aun hay vida... y mientras haya klezmer... el mundo puede celebrar el nacimiento de un mosco, de un perro, de un gato... cualquier mala energía en el universo se rinde y muere instantaneamente ante el KLEZMER...
