In Memoriam - Jewish Music from Holocaust - Klezmer pt.3

that's because the juice had to camouflage their music as happy music when they were imprisoned in the conc.camps, otherwise the Krauts would have found out.

I don't like it. It sounds like a happy music, it seems that you are celebrating something. I don't agree that it should be in honor of Holocaust. Instead of that, we can show the world, that people like us continue celebrating and living happy, but that's another thing.

@axelbrz It is the spirit of jewish music; it is ironic in nature. Jewish musicians took great pains to find ways of moving forward despite persecution. The minor-scales and 'crying'-like clarinet techniques are in harmonic conflict with the upbeat tempo. This is what makes klezmer music so unique; the constant conflict of trying hard to stay merriful, despite hardship.
