Klezmofobia anniversary in 2024: 20 years on the road!
Klezmofobia burst through to the Danish and foreign audience, when the debut album Tantz! won a Danish Music Award, and the Tiger stores sold the record in the thousands. In the years that followed, the band played numerous concerts in Denmark, Germany, and the Nordic countries - and exotic places such as Mexico, China, Japan, and Svalbard. Two more albums came out: Ganze Velt, and Kartushnik, which was an international collaboration with one of the Balkan world's most recognized producers, Dragi Sestic.
2024 marks the 20th anniversary of Klezmofobia, and they're celebrating with a tour and the release of an EP with five brand new tracks.
The music embraces irresistible klezmer chain dance, punky energy and beautiful ballads that take the listener on a dreamy flight through the grassy mountains and valleys of Eastern Europe.
The band is better than ever. The many years of intense interplay and hundreds of concerts can be felt when the seasoned musicians throw themselves with playful ease into chain dances, rock'n'roll klezmer and beautiful ballads. Leading the way is the queen of Nordic klezmer, Channe Nussbaum, whose vocals have power - and the beauty and depth of age.
The musicians are looking forward to stepping on to the stage in venues in Denmark again, and feeling the buzz from the thousands of fans who love to dance, sing and cry to Klezmofobia's music.
Line up:
Channe Nussbaum, vocal
