Antwerp Gipsy-Ska Orkestra & Amsterdam Klezmer Band LIVE

The mighty Antwerp Gipsy-Ska Orkestra will be back at the Mez again for a full explosive melting pot live set! These six musicians with very diverse musical backgrounds have teamed up to combine the pure, raw energy of authentic Roma Gipsy melodies with the ultra-danceable ska groove. Even Lebanese, Greek and Turkish influences are part of their repetoire. Get your dance shoes ready 🙂 AKB The Amsterdam Klezmer Band’s roots grow both from the streets and the music-conservatory. The band loves tradition and innovation, blows down festival tents, the roof off concert halls and draws tears in theaters. The music of the Amsterdam Klezmer Band is a vibrant mix of klezmer, balkan, ska, jazz, gipsy, oriental and hip hop. It is an energetic mix of styles that is guaranteed to lead to a big party in any live situation. In over more than twenty-five years, this group of Amsterdam based musicians has grown into a driven, internationally renowned, seven-piece klezmer phenomenon. Anyone who expects a traditional evening based on the name will be in for a surprise. Because the AKB has forged it’s own sound, in which their own work is enhanced with rap, electronics or a ripping sax.
