Their fun mix of jazz and Middle Eastern influences recalls the Klezmatics, and their innovative use of guitar and bouzouki brings out the Turkish flavor.

Tummel

Tummel is the path-breaking klezmer band that, with ever-present energy, takes your heart on a bungee jump. Known as a formidable live band, Tummel has managed to turn many a crowd into a roaring, shaking, ferocious mega-party. With the motto "klezmer for restless souls," the band re-invents the traditional Jewish music and turns it into something completely their own.

Their first album, Oy!, was released worldwide in November 2001, and has received lots of very enthusiastic reviews. They have also toured extensively both in Sweden and abroad.
