Archive material and source history
Tzimmes formed in Amsterdam in 1994, playing a mix of Jewish klezmer, Balkan rhythms, and Gypsy melodies. Their song 'Adio Querida' became their most recognizable track.
The group included Janke Dekker on vocals and violin, David Neerman on clarinet and saxophone, Boaz Mauda on accordion, Evert Nieuwstede on guitar and bouzouki, Barend Japing on bass, and David Kweksilber on drums and percussion. They released several albums between 1994 and 2006, including self-titled debut, 'Live in Amsterdam,' 'Yiddish Renaissance,' 'To Life,' and the 'Adio Querida' album.
Some traditionalists questioned their approach to blending different musical traditions, but the band kept playing their style. Their recordings and performances were heard by audiences in various communities.
