What's that Russian music called? And that Jewish stuff?

You know that Russian music where they dance really low kicking out their feet? Is there a name for that?

And that music that they play in Jewish things, where they're in a circle and stuff. What's that called, if it has a name?

Might get a better response in OT. So off we go.

A quick Google of the word makes it seem as if that could be it. I'm downloading an MP3 in eMule (slowly) now, and searching for MIDIs.

One down (hopefully) and one to go.

EDIT: I can't figure out if Klezmer is one song or an entire style. You know what I'm on about, right? The stuff where they'll all be in a circle and go "Oi!" every now and again.

sorry, dunno anything about it - except that it is a Jewish-based musical genre (not just a song).

as for the russian stuff, my fav composer Tchaikovsky is all about the Russian dance. Dunno if that genre has a name though.

Klezmer is a music style.

There's a lot of different traditional Russian and Jewish music styles. Some great stuff IMO!

I specially love if one sings folk songs in 'Jiddish' (a German/Polish/Hebrew language mix iirc) - it always breaks my heart and I instantly have to cry for the pure beauty of that kind of singing - I am serious!
I can understand almost every word - It's really close to German in some ways but it sounds a lot better.

I am not really sure what you are searching for - it's my bad English, I guess

Try to explain it again with a few more words so I can guess were you are aiming at.

Greetings,

Chris

I used to know what that Russian dance style was called, and I can't remember it right now for the life of me. It'll probably hit me in the middle of the night tonight while I'm sleeping.

the russian dance u speak of is called the Kozak Dance, after the mighty cossacks that rebelled against russia, and what would be considered the old U.S.S.R.

as for the jewish thing...im not sure lol
