The music of Kroke has
its roots in Hebrew and East European tradition, in the psalms and synagogue music
played during services. It is a very specific and energetic music, in which the
elements of the Orient and the Occident are merged, and whose range of feelings
oscillates between unbridled joy at one extreme and the deepest melancholy at
the other. A special feature of Kroke is the technical perfection with which they
wield their instruments. This is their weapon with which they transmit their feelings,
making them reverberate in fascinating sounds.
