Tumbalalaika Around the World - Klezmer Tanz Plays at the Bath Inn in Nottingham, England

The Yiddish folk love song Tumbalalaika originated in Eastern Europe in the 19th century, but its exact origin is hard to pinpoint. That hasn't prevented it from being sung and played over and over, not only in places where Yiddish songs are sung, but just about everywhere in the world, in vocal and instrumental versions, in cabarets and in the movies.

Just as we have followed the songs Hava Nagila, Adon Olam, Hevenu Shalom Aleichem, and Abanibi as they took different forms as interpreted by a wide variety of singers, musicians, and dancers, we're continuing the series today that we started back in 2012, bringing you many interpretations of this universal courting and love song.

This 28th rendition of Tumbalalaika is by Klezmer Tanz, A group of English musicians playing the beautiful tunes and songs of the klezmer repertoire at the Bath Inn in Nottingham.

Enjoy!
