The Klezmatics x Enver Izmaylov: A Groundbreaking Collaboration

We are thrilled to announce an extraordinary collaboration between The Klezmatics, Grammy-winning trailblazers of contemporary klezmer, and Enver Izmaylov, one of the most innovative and virtuosic guitarists in the world today.

Enver Izmaylov is a Crimean Tatar master musician whose artistry transcends borders, genres, and expectations. Widely celebrated for revolutionizing the guitar with his signature two-handed tapping technique, Enver transforms the instrument into a full-spectrum orchestra—combining melody, harmony, bass, and percussion into one seamless, fluid sound. His music fuses Crimean Tatar traditions with Balkan rhythms, Middle Eastern modalities, jazz improvisation, and blues, creating a genre-defying sonic experience that has captivated audiences worldwide.

Enver has shared stages and studios with legends such as Bobby McFerrin, Tommy Emmanuel, King Crimson’s Tony Levin & Pat Mastelotto, and Ivo Papazov. Now, for the first time, he joins forces with The Klezmatics, a band that—like Enver—has spent decades expanding the possibilities of traditional music and bridging cultures through sound.

This summer, Enver returns to the United States for his Strings Across Continents Tour, following his show-stealing performance at Jetlag Festival 2024, where he was hailed as a breakout sensation. He’ll headline Jetlag again in 2025 and release a new live album, “Live at Jetlag 2024”, capturing the energy and innovation of that performance.

Even more exciting is his collaboration on The Klezmatics’ upcoming album, where Enver will contribute both as a composer and performer. And here’s the magic:
✨ The material for the new album will be recorded live during two special concerts this June—giving audiences a rare opportunity to witness the creation of a new masterpiece in real time.
