Mames Babegenush is the east meeting the north. Strong Scandinavian roots merge with the vibrant dance music of Eastern Europe. From the ambience of Nordic pine trees to lively weddings in Romania, the group’s music gives a sense of melancholy and ecstatic joy. Formed in Copenhagen in 2004, the sextet has dazzled audiences and critics with its fresh sound and musical gumption. The group spent years perfecting traditional Jewish and Eastern European styles, and its members have always insisted on leaving their personal mark in the music.
