Klezmer, East European folk music, contemporary classical and Tuvan throat singing all came together in this astonishing music of Ahva Raba, one of the most original and distinctive Jewish groups based in contemporary Germany.

With a repertory ranging from exciting dance tunes, experimental chamber compositions and vocal pieces sung in a nonsense language of their own invention, Kete Kuf, their remarkable debut CD will surprise and delight you as creative music that is both challenging, beautiful and fun.
