The band loves tradition and innovation, blows down festival tents, the roof off concert halls and draws tears in theaters. The AKB has been active in making music for almost 30 years.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"en-US\">The music of the Amsterdam Klezmer Band is a vibrant mix of klezmer, balkan, ska, jazz, gipsy, oriental and hip hop. It is an energetic mix of styles that is guaranteed to lead to a big party in any live situation.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"en-GB\">With their new album, Diaspora (Asphalt Tango Records), the band returns in 2026 to its acoustic roots while subtly reshaping them, capturing the music in its most immediate and joyous form, with a newly prominent role for drummer Mischa Porte. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"en-US\">Since 1996, this group of Amsterdam musicians has grown into a well-oiled, internationally renowned, seven-piece klezmer phenomenon. Anyone who expects a traditional evening based on the name will be in for a shock. Because the AKB has forged it\u2019s own sound, in which their own work is enhanced with rap, electronics or a ripping sax.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"en-US\">The Amsterdam Klezmer Band inspires worldwide. Bands are popping up in South America covering AKB songs. What distinguishes the AKB from many other Balkan and klezmer bands is the way in which the band, versatile and always developing, keep on managing to give its music a new meaning. The band\u2019s music is always open to deviant or pleasantly disruptive musical influences. That\u2019s why the band sounds fresh and exciting, and they get that back from the audience. The band\u2019s mission is simple: Celebrating life with music together with as many different people as possible. The Amsterdam Klezmer Band makes no distinction between genres, styles, origins, religion, or politics.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"en-US\">And that approach proves to work well in many countries. The band not only played at major festivals in Europe such as Lowlands, North Sea Jazz Festival and Sziget, but they also played at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Cit\u00e9 de la Musique in Paris and at the jazz festival in Hong Kong. Festivals, theaters, stages, concert halls, bars or simply in the open air on the street, no stage is too big or too small.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"en-US\">The line-up of the band consists of <strong>Job Chajes<\/strong> (sax and raps),<strong> Janfie van Strien<\/strong> (clarinet, percussion), <strong>Joop van der Linden<\/strong> (trombone and guitar), <strong>Jasper de Beer<\/strong> (Bass), <strong>Ellen van Vliet<\/strong> (accordion) and <strong>Mischa Porte<\/strong> (percussion and drums).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"en-US\">20 albums have now been released. They entered into collaboration with S\u00f6nd\u00f6rg\u0151, Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, Galata Gypsy Band and many others. Soundtracks have been released for, among others, the film \u201cle Chat du Rabbin\u201d by Joann Sfar and music for the nature documentary \u201cDe Wilde Stad\u201d.<\/span>","website":"https:\/\/amsterdamklezmerband.com\/","colorized-image":7214,"interview":null,"veranstaltungen":[7241]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
