Yom and the Wonder Rabbis: from shtetl to dancefloor, the klezmer beat goes on

French clarinetist Yom electrifies klezmer, the musical tradition of Ashkenazi Jews from Central and Eastern Europe. On his new album You Will Never Die, recorded with the Wonder Rabbis, electric bass, drums and turbo clarinet have replaced accordion and cimbalom, but the vibe and emotion is the same. "It's dancefloor," he says, "but then klezmer music was also [about] dance".
