From Latino-America to Eastern Europe:
Yiddish Mambos for the global shtetl

New York, Miami, Havanna, Buenos Aires, in the middle of 20th century: The music of the immigrants from Eastern Europe meets the musics of America -- a new, hot blend of Eastern European folklore, Yiddish music, and latin American rhythms is developing and heating up the dancefloors from the Catskills to Miami Beach.

The global shtetl band picks up this exciting tradition of the "Mamboniks" and transforms it with Chuzpa, virtuosity and outrageous playing into a music of the new, globalized millenium.

Old melodies are refreshed with new lyrics, old lyrics are played with new melodies, a tango is transformed into a bossa nova, new songs are written - modern arrangements, breathing the soul of the mamboniks.

Fresh, fascinating, beyond well known paths -- the music of the global shtetl band is a yourney through Latin American, Eastern European and Yiddish music.
