Massel-Tov

[mashke <mashke...>]

I just discovered a great band (courtesy of Netscape's Klezmer Station). 
They're Massel-Tov, a German based Klezmer band that's evidently been around 
for 10 years. They're very near in (as opposed to far out), energetic and 
acoustic, consisting of a vocalist (Andrea Pankur, who is great), clarinet, 
flute, guitar, bass and percussion.

Ari has a great review of their latest album Vos iz vikhtik... (what is 
important) on the Klezmershack web site, www.klezmershack.com, which very 
nicely explains the band and their approach to Jewish music. The band has a web 
site (in German) www.masseltov.com that has 2 Real Audio clips.

I hope they make it to Boston some day.
