Read review - Rainlore's World of Music

"SPECTACULAR!! Every track is a gem"
"...a bold and fresh new CD for klezmer lovers everywhere.
It has already become a regular part of my playlist,
along with the other Shir CDs"
Barry Reisman WNWR AM 1540 Philadelphia, USA

"
This album of music from the heart straight to the heart - as well as to the feet! - brim full of neshoma, or soul.
Ashk'Farad is completely enchanting and irresistible,
a highly enjoyable listening experience"
Rainlore's World of Music


About Shir

Shir is the complete Jewish music group:
Klezmer, Israeli, Yiddish, Sephardi, Mizrachi, Ladino and Simcha music.

Formed in 1997 by Maurice Chernick the group has become a major force on the UK Jewish music scene performing concerts and fulfilling the original function of the Klezmorim – entertaining at Simchas - Jewish parties.

Coming from different musical backgrounds (classical, jazz and gypsy folk), the four musicians of SHIR meet to provide a spontaneous, energetic and soulful musical experience.

Shir attempts to be as true as possible to the original sound of the Klezmorim using acoustic instruments and drawing on the original Klezmer, Traditional, Yiddish and Sephardi repertoire,
while at the same time catering for more “up to date” tastes in Jewish music with popular Israeli folk and dance tunes.

Shir is
Maurice Chernick - Clarinet, Vocals
Ivor Goldberg - Guitar, Vocals
Piotr Jordan - Violin
Steve Rose - Bass
Ronen Kozokaro - Percussion
