The 35th annual three-day international Klezmer Festival has opened this week in the mystical city of Tzfat in the Galilee. Large crowds are expected to crowd the stages and alleyways this year, the first since the coronavirus pandemic struck, and because entry is free of charge. Scores of performers as well as street artists are at moment spreading that traditionally Jewish Klezmer music across Tzfat. Earlier today we spoke with Chaim Kumer who will be leading his band Kol Israel about the festival and the music. (photo: Studio A) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
