 \;&amp\; VODKA</strong>&nbsp\;is the Washington based\, widely acclaimed k
 lezmer-Jewish band offering an enchanting\, entertaining and emotionally e
 nriching ethnic experience.&nbsp\;LOX&nbsp\;&amp\; VODKA&nbsp\;performs li
 vely and spirit filled music where audiences can expect to be active parti
 cipants\, learning songs in foreign languages and clapping to Klezmer rhyt
 hms.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Their&nbsp\;hora&nbsp\;(circle dance) is always action-p
 acked and\, when they teach an audience full of enthusiastic listeners to 
 folk dance\, the atmosphere is electric!<br />&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Humor is an 
 essential element in their concerts.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;From joy and laughter to
  pulling on the audience&rsquo\;s heartstrings and collective emotional en
 ergy\, there is a story to be told and they tell it in a way no other band
  does!&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Klezmer music\, which the band d
 efines as Jewish soul music\, has been in existence since the Middle Ages 
 when&nbsp\;klezmorim&nbsp\;(itinerant musicians) would travel from&nbsp\;s
 htetl&nbsp\;(village) to&nbsp\;shtetl&nbsp\;to play for Jewish weddings an
 d other celebrations. As they traveled\, the musicians adopted a wide rang
 e of musical idioms. In turn-of-the-century America\, the&nbsp\;klezmorim&
 nbsp\;quickly mastered new instruments and styles.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Today we h
 ave seen a revival of this spiritually endowed musical form.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
 LOX&nbsp\;&amp\; VODKA&nbsp\;is proud to be part of this inspiring renaiss
 ance.</p>\nhttps://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/16424193
