They have settled and integrated very well in Quebec and now are achieving success.\u00a0 Ironically \u2013 there is only one Jewish member in the group.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded live at The Lion D\u2019or in Montreal before an appreciative and amused crowd<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the Kleztory homepage I have taken the following text:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>KLEZTORY\u2019s roots go back to 1997, when guitarist <strong>Alain\u00a0Legault<\/strong> founded Les\u00a0Gitans\u00a0S\u00e9dentaires. Joined by bassist <strong>Mark\u00a0Peetsma<\/strong>, the group performed more than two hundred shows in the following two years. In 2000, this fine tuned rhythm section was joined by the classically trained clarinetist, <strong>Airat\u00a0Ichmouratov<\/strong>, and became known as Simha. In early 2002, with the addition of violinist <strong>Elvira\u00a0Misbakhova<\/strong> and accordionist <strong>Henri\u00a0Oppenheim<\/strong>, KLEZTORY became a traditional klezmer ensemble and is one of the most dynamic klezmer ensembles in Canada today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you like Klezmer music you should take the chance and listen to this beautiful concert! My favorite piece in this concert is a tune by Andy Statman who is a great mandolin and Klezmer musician and composer. This tune is also available on the Kleztory homepage as a download.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"watch-headline-title\">Kleztory performs Andy&#8217;s Ride<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kleztory performs Andy&#039;s Ride\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EvF5XSGmczc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Kleztory performs Fun Tashlikh<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/anSqYPWQ_kM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<h2>Playlist Kleztory<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kleztory - Great Canadian Klezmer Band\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLC878J8mcBo86xpnals113wdl94k06LYU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Links<\/h2>\n<p>Homepage of Kleztory: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kleztory.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.kleztory.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>youtube channel of Kleztory: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Kleztory\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Kleztory<\/a><\/p>\n<p>many Kleztory videos can be found in the channel of: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bastardmountainboys\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bastardmountainboys<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have found Kleztory in a concert that had been available on the CBC concerts on demand site.
