What the press say:“Fiddler on a surf-boardExtraordinary competent second album from the danish klezmerband Klezmofobia” “…A warmblooded danish-jewishdiva in a sensual declaration of love to her former Palestinian lover. A band consisting of anything but lost folkmusicians escaping over the fence in an intoxicating stream of surfrock, ska and hints to serbian farmer-rock, played asif it were a slivovitz-affected day on the marketplace in Guca. And at the same time solidly connected to the roots ofdanish folkmusic…. Welcome to the world of Klezmofobia… It is an excellent album.
