@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.

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.
