Concert
Yale Strom and his Hot Pstromi band perform traditional klezmer tunes from various regions of the Austro-Hungarian empire. This "Hungarian Jewish" music was especially popular in eastern Hungary, the Carpathian Mountains and Transylvania before World War II, and experienced a revival many years after the war.
