Flying Bulgar new CD release, Toronto, May 10,11

[Ari Davidow <ari...>]

If these folks were in the US they'd be as well known as Brave Old World or the
Klezmatics. But they're nice Canadians who make amazing, astounding new Jewish
music. Don't let that keep you from seeing this concert. (It's the first album
release of theirs I'll be missing in a long time. I am unhappy.)
