The fest will include world music, Israeli rock and Argentinian klezmer, among other genres.</p> <p>Do not fret, dear readers, there will be plenty more info on the specifics of the festival in an upcoming j. article, but here and now I'd like to turn your attention to one act that has piqued my interest — <a href="http://www.lesyeuxnoirs.net/Les_Yeux_Noirs/Bienvenue.html" target="_blank">Les Yeux Noirs</a>.</p> <p>The Paris-based sextet plays a stunning mix of klezmer, jazz, traditional Yiddish sounds and Romani music. Fronted by brother Eric and Olivier Slabiak, the group also includes musicians thumping out beats on electric and double bass, accordion and drums. Their albums include danceable klez pop and references to Yiddish lullabies (so precious).</p> <p>What can I say, I'm a sucker for a French Jew.</p> <p>The gist:<br />Lex Yeux Noirs<br />Presented in association with The Jewish Music Festival<br />At the <a href="http://www.marinjcc.org/" target="_blank">Osher Marin JCC</a><br />200 N.
