Klezmer and Balkan music in Buffalo, NY!

[ahavaraba]

Hi from the States: Buffalo, New York to be precise! I play accordion in a klezmer band called Ahavarava. We also do some Balkan tunes.

Here we are playing Ot Azoy and Miserlou on the street this summer:

And here we are playing Ajde Jano more recently:

I hope you enjoy! {}

Cool great drive and energy.
What Does The Name Of Your Group Mean?
What brought you to the accordion by the way.

Thanks! Ahavaraba means "abundant love" - which is how we feel about playing music. I was inspired by hearing accordionist Will Holshouser live, and so I got an accordion and started to play.

Thanks. Great stuff.
I play a bunch of klezmer (about 30 songs) on my saxophone. My goal is to bring some of those tunes over to the accordion, which I'm just learning. Thanks for the inspiration.
