From the album "Katakofti" (KALAN 285, 2003)

"Der Terkishe Yale Ve Yove: A traditional klezmer piece which was performed and recorded in the 1920′s by clarinet player Naftule Brandwein. The common klezmer dance form became known as Terkishe ("Turkish") in Istanbul, where many klezmer musicians lived in the late eighteenth, early nineteenth centuries. The rather agressive groove of this Terkishe inspires to rapping, which explains why Job Chajes chose it as the basis of a cheeky rap song, which tells the story of someone listening to klezmer music but choosing the wrong band entirely: If you are after some really good music, you'll have to try De Amsterdam Klezmer Band and The Galata Gypsy Band!"
