Den Flygande Bokrullen has followed the traditions of klezmer music and let our music get some colour from the group members' own musical favourites and preferences. For example, they play many greek tunes, just like the revival-pioneer group Klezmorim did on their first record.
The style and structure of klezmer as we know it today is thought to have come largely from 19th century Bessarabia (Romania), where the bulk of today's traditional repertoire was written. It is based on hora, sirba, doina, all of them of Romanian origin.

Den flygande bokrullen is a really good liveact, though this song is not my personal favourite when it comes to their songs. I would like to see a live-video of Odessa Bulgar!
