One is Mappamundi, which means "Map of the World" and which plays popular wedding music of Western and Eastern Europe, Jewish traditions (klezmer, yiddish, hebrew, israeli, sephardic, songs in Ladino) and American swing tunes for dancing and a little bit of Hispanic music as well. The other is the Pratie Heads, a duo specializing in music of the British Isles (Celtic, Irish, Scottish, English) and early America - but recently branching out into many other traditions as well!   |
Another good tune for preludes or possibly a Jewish wedding recessional – fun der khupa means “leaving the chuppah.” “Freylekh” is a kind of dance (the word in Yiddish means “happy”). I personally would prefer to do this tune with a band, but a lot of recessionista brides, budget conscious, are preferring soloists for their ceremonies. [...] My daughter’s hiring a solo cellist for her wedding ceremony and I wanted to give her some tunes to choose from. This klezmer tune is usually done with a full ensemble, here it’s just solo viola. You can hear a few more of us playing it (including accordion) at this previous post: Araber Tanz played [...] Russian [...] Lustige khsidim: slow klezmer tune for [...] Araber Tants: klezmer tune for [...] |

I play fiddle, concertina, piano, viola, and sometimes viola with two bands in central North Carolina, near RDU and the Research Triangle (actually closer to Chapel Hill and Hillsborough than Durham, but anyway, central). You can see these two wedding ensembles at our site
