Incredible, this music reminds me very much of the Hungarian Roma Gypsy music records of my father of the seventies.


I think Roma and Sinti music must have influence the Klezmer music in Central- and Eastern Europe to a certain point.

Your Father may just be correct with Gypsy music and Klezmer in the manner of parallel development in music styles. For what I gather is Klesmer was Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe.

Klezmer {from: Wikipedia}

Developed in Southeastern Europe, influenced mostly by Romanian music (predominantly from Moldavia, particularly Bessarabia and the Romanian part of Bucovina); Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, Hungarian Romani, and Turkish music influences Jewish celebrations, especially weddings, in Eastern Europe
Typical instruments Violin, cymbalom, clarinet, accordion, trombone, trumpet, piano, double bass

Klezmer music is so different and so wild, some times I think I like it, then I am not sure.
