Veretski Pass (band)

Veretski Pass is a klezmer trio using traditional instrumentation of accordion, violin, cimbalom and bowed double bass. They are based in the United States, and are named after Verecke Pass, the mountain pass through which Magyar tribes crossed into the Carpathian basin to settle what later became the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Members of this group have previously played in other Klezmer groups such as Budowitz and Brave Old World.

The band's music has a mix of Carpathian, Jewish, Romanian, Ottoman, Moldavian, Bessarabian, and Polish influences, amongst others.[1]

They performed at the Concertgebouw Concert Hall in Amsterdam in March 2006.[2]

gollark: I was mostly complaining about their specific reasoning there (it is not very sensible, inasmuch as basically no possible bad event is *guaranteed* but ignoring the possibility of them is quite bad for you), but I don't agree with the rest of what they said either, so thing.
gollark: Bold of you to assume I know things.
gollark: > it's okay to not be scared of what MIGHT happenThis is such a moronically stupid attitude toward risk. Among other things.
