“Klezmer at its funkiest, trippiest best ☆☆☆☆”
Songlines

Bringing together the music of Jewish Eastern Europe and Sephardic Turkey in an authentic, powerful Mediterranean Mélange, Hamsa take us on a journey that not only crosses borders but also takes us deep into ourselves.

Taking elements of Klezmer, Fasil and Niggunim into new repertoire and using rhythms and grooves both reminiscent of the shtetl and the souk, the five musicians entice and seduce us with repertoire old and new and with technical flare and charm.
