Klezmer called Jewish musicians from Eastern Europe, most often playing in wandering ensembles at weddings, fairs and other celebrations. The leading instrument for klezmer is the violin, it is supplemented in various combinations with contrabass, cymbals, clarinet, drums. The manner of the game is very emotional, which is enhanced by expressiveness, tempo changes, improvised inserts. Although the origins of klezmer music lie in ancient Hebrew folklore, the genre was influenced by the music of other peoples, especially Moldovan and Romanian national motifs. The heyday of the genre came in the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among the most famous songs are "Hava Nagila" and "7-40", and among the representatives - The Klezmatics, Amsterdam Klezmer Band, Giora Feidman and others.
