Di Naye Kapelye - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Formed in 1994 through a number of fortuitous circumstances, many involving liberal quantities of palinka â€“ Hungarian plum brandy â€“ at marathon Hungarian folk dances, Di Naye Kapelye plays old time Jewish music the way we imagine it was played in eastern Europe both before and after the Holocaust. Learning from Jewish people still living in the region, and from Gypsy musicians who played for them, DNK carries on a living tradition of music.

Sounds Like: "roots klezmer in the best way, played in the style that would have had folks dancing madly all night a hundred years ago" (Ari Davidow, Klezmer Shack); "the earthy, rural sound of klezmer music as it probably sounded in the villages of Romania before the Second World War" (Simon Broughton, Songlines); "so searingly intense it makes The Sex Pistols sound like Johnny Mathis" (Will Robinson Sheff, AudioGalaxy)
