One theory is that Klezmer and Balkan music both relate back to Turkish music. The Turks were present in the general area for 800 years or so.

peace dwayne from prospect heights bk

great show,
i was wondering if the beautiful balkan tunes we are hearing today relate at all in structure or origin to yiddish klezmer music.

thanks so much for the great show!
