"Clarinetist Yom owes his choice of instrument to his father's side of the family and his Ashkenazi culture to that of his mother, a native of Transylvania. At the age of six, for the first time, he heard Argentine clarinetist Giora Feidman play klezmer music. The roots of this traditional music of the Ashkenazi Jews, developed in the early fifteenth century, draw from Slavic Romani and Middle Eastern traditions. Banned in Eastern and Central Europe in the late thirties, this music survived in America, cut off from its original territory. Yom brings it back to the heart of Europe and the evolution of modern Balkan music by surrounding himself with virtuoso musicians. The sound intermingles with the whirling rhythm. Around and around it goes, incessant, throbbing and inexhaustible. The reunion of his family takes place indoors, with us. Marion Paoli".
