Welcome to the Hot Jerusalem Mixture of styles.Elki-Palki (pronounced - yol-kee - pal - kee) is a russian idiom for the diverse emotional expression, close to english "fiddlesticks", literally meaning "pine trees and sticks". Started in 2003 by immigrants from the former Soviet Union the band played irish traditional music, but soon every member contributed to the development of the repertoire from their versatile backgrounds. Nowadays, Elki-Palki continue actively experimenting with sound and musical styles, without neglecting the primary intention - make people dance. The present style of Elki-Palki defies categorization: an explosive mixture of Gypsy and Balkan music (Romanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian and more), together with Irish and Mediterranean music, as well as elements of rock, jazz, funk, metal and trance music. We call our style Shotnez Beat (Shotnez is the concept in Judaism for the forbidden mixture).
