ROOTED IN YIDDISH LANGUAGE AND DIASPORIC CULTURES.
Burikes (boo-rri-kess, meaning “beets” in Yiddish), is a klezmer band based on Nipmuc, Nonotuck, and Pocumtuc land in so-called Northampton, MA. Rooted in a love for Yiddish language and diasporic cultures, Burikes brings communities together to dance and sing with driving rhythms, lush harmonies, and lyrics to welcome in a besere velt.
