When Oy Division, a klezmer ensemble of four funky Israelis who perform wonderful Yiddish soul and rock songs started doing their thing, you could see smiles
gradually beginning to cover the faces of everyone in the audience. Oy division plays the kind of music that anyone who grew up with Yiddish as his childhood
soundtrack would find hard to resist. The soft and comforting sound of this old language, which is currently undergoing a fantastic revival, inevitably struck a chord with
my nostalgic heart, but it was the vibrant and genuine way in which it was played and sung by Noam Inbar (vocals) and his band members with their violin, accordion
and double bass they try to make it contemporary in any way, but rather try to recreate and bring back to life the nearly extinct .Old music revisited with the zeal and
exuberance of punks. Oy division has recently returned to Israel after a short but successful tour of the U.S.and Canada including performances at the KlezKanada
Music festival. Their debut album is soon to be released.
