Identity in Klezmer

I am a student at the University of California, Davis and I am writing a
paper about klezmer music. I am looking for help with two question. Does
the music mimic language? It sounds like it to me, especially in some the
melodies Andy Statman plays. The second question is a more general cultural
question. How do American Jews view themselves, and how does that reflect
in the music?
