Kletzmer Wedding Dance: Briogaz Tanz (Dispute Dance)

Interviewer: What is this about?

The Band: The Two guys they go to make a fight.

Interviewer: Why fight? Is it over love or romance or what?

The Band: Ooo. It’s many reasons. Because they are Jewish friends. You know, Jewish friends cannot be unless you fight with them from time to time. And then he kills him. And to bring him back to life are the songs. And then they are friends forever….you can see …. until next time.

Despite all the tensions we find between Jews of different streams and sects, may the music of our souls always bring us back each other in peace.
