to the chellethgreatest: you are right, but professional musicians can't spend time on the steets, they are busy. Pity, otherwise much more people would enjoy their music! .. and the music those gypsies are playing is certainly not polka, polka is a folk dance with quite different rythm! :-))

[chellethegreatest]

@astkamila1, Polka, Klezmer, ... what is it? Regarding professional musicians playing on the streets, I only mentioned an hour or two, I can't imagine that they wouldn't be able to find the time now and than just to do so, not necessarily all day of course, that's just me, I'm an alley cat : )

[astkamila1]

The music is great and I think that putting those guys on Internet does them only good - kind of promotion video- don't you think so?

[chellethegreatest]

@astkamila1, Well this is what street music is about, you play for free and hope to get something in return ... More virtuosi should go out on the streets and enjoy themselves showing of their talents even for just an hour or two. Thats what I like about these guys they just get out there and play, there is also the interaction with the vibe on the street ... Music now is often a far too complicated and strict business ... oh boy if I had the talent, I would be out all day just like these guys.

kl man well look up some klezmer, im actually studying the interplay between the Jews and the gypsies and they are both rich in stories of pain and oppression, this somehow always leads to a need to express ones identity musically. The result is wicked!

[chellethegreatest]

@lsdvine, I think you're overloading it a bit, this is just a funky tune that leads it's own life ... I have to say I once saw a documentary about a group of jewish musicians in a camp, who had to play for nazi diners and such, and they were one of the few healthy survivors, because they could express and enjoy themselves freely in the music, and feel liberated. Same thing for people who suffer pain and oppression during the week and go clubing or yell at footballgame during the weekend ; )

its neither Klezmer nor polka, its actually Hungarian folk music with a lot of gypsy style thrown in, which is what gypsies typically do, go and meet a culture and play around with their music,

[astkamila1]

To the Chellethgreatest: I appareciate everybody who are interested and love the music. - and I respect your opinion, too. I also think that nowadays, the classical music is becoming the right of the moneyed people, because most tickets to a concerts are quite expensive. Pity. Wonderful Christmas and Happy new year and keep listening to the music, it is balsam for our souls. :-))

The music is great, but did you ask them whether you could film them and put their images on the internet?

bon !

@lsdvine, That can very well be, this clarinet player also a roma, he does a lot of different styles. I see him often in the city-center and sometimes he's playing some lazy jazz tune. Thx for the comment, I've never heard of the term 'Klezmer' music :)

[lsdvine]

i would agree that the accordian player is a gypsy but the music they are playing is most definitely Klezmer music which is a general term for many forms of jewish music form the balkans, turkey and new york

[potatolovinfreak10]

Wow....He's good 8D

[chellethegreatest]

Close to "la grand place" brussels belgium, just behind "la bourse" (Brussels Stock Exchange) that's the hard of the city center.
