A CELEBRATION OF JEWISH MUSIC
Klez-Kabaret is a quartet setting (clarinet, violin, accordion / vocals, percussion) of Jewish instrumental music and songs, from the wildest klezmer to the most finely chiseled arrangements; from glorious Yiddish hits to beautiful original songs on poems from Yiddish Montreal.
Klez-Kabaret builds a bridge between cultures and links the past an the present, always with sensitivity and humor. Prepare to dance, laugh and cry! The group can be a trio, quartet or more, depending on the occasion. The standard formation is the quartet. • Vanessa Marcoux : Violin • Henri Oppenheim : Accordion, guitar, accordion, voice • Gabriel Paquin-Buki : Clarinet • (optional) Éric Breton : Percussion • (optional) Mathieu Deschenaux : Double Bass |

The team

For over 15 years, Éric Breton (percussions) has been specializing himself as a percussionist in World Beat music. Under Luc Boivin’s wing at Université du Québec à Montréal, he developed his knowledge of Latin and popular percussions. Throughout his career, his many collaborations with various artists from an array of horizons and backgrounds helped him hone his art form, and more specifically World music and percussions. His most recent work has lead him to enrich and adapt his repertoire to include music as broad as Algerian, Moroccan, Irish, Peruvian, Argentinean, Spanish and Indian as well as traditional Québécois music.
Renowned and respected as an artist and percussionist in Montreal’s World Beat community, Éric regularly shares the stage with different groups such as Ragleela, Arométis, Gravity Trio, Massiel Yanira, Trio Expresso and flamenco companies and projects.
