KROKE have not to re-invent theirselves, but they define their music with every new album in a different way. What remains invariable is their basic understanding of music: virtuosity and passion, pleasure and deep emotion. 

What changes: Without losing track of its roots their music continously develops from what is regarded as traditional Klezmer music. The direction of this movement is decisive, and this direction is forward. Avant-garde. Klezmer-avant-garde, if you will.
