Of course, the actual CD was professionally recorded, mastered, and pressed -- so it sounds a lot better than any MP3s. Plus the artwork is cool, and the CD itself is red. Plus you want to support us. That's why you should buy the CD.

Who are The Red Hot Chachkas and why this CD?

by Julie Egger, Founder of RHC

In the summer of 1998, at KlezKamp West, I rediscovered the music of my childhood, Klezmer music. For the first time in my musical career I felt like I had come home, uniting my two passions: Judaism and music. As I became familiar and involved with these melodies, I felt the music and its soulful roots become part of me. I learned tunes and studied with musicians such as Deborah Strauss, Alicia Svigals, and Stuart Brotman, and discovered my spiritual self and  musical abilities merging into one.

Out of this union came the Red Hot Chachkas, a band of fellow musicians who are truly moved by the sounds of the Klezmer melodies. We continue to find musical inspirations that come from our souls. Whether we play for a wedding, festival, or rehearsal, our best music comes from within. This CD is a continuation of that process.
