internationally acclaimed klezmer band
Based in Germany, originally from Saint Petersburg, Russia
For over 25 years, Dobranotch has been a driving force in the klezmer revival movement, bringing fresh energy and authenticity to this rich musical tradition.
Sound of Dobranotch is a vibrant fusion of klezmer with Russian, Romani, Middle Eastern, Ukrainian, and Caucasian folk styles - infused with contemporary rhythms, yet always rooted in the raw, acoustic spirit of a traditional klezmer wedding orchestra.
With performances in more than 20 countries and 11 albums to their name, Dobranotch has earned a global reputation. Their music has been featured in films, documentaries, and TV productions, and they’ve garnered several prestigious accolades, including:
Eiserner Eversteiner – Audience Choice Award
German Record Critics’ Award – Best Folk Album
Russian World Music Award – Best World Music Project
On the stage of a philharmonic hall, Dobranotch captivates as refined artists; in clubs and at festivals, they ignite the crowd into a dancing trance. Offstage, they become the soundtrack to a magical carnival.
In 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the members of Dobranotch made the difficult decision to leave Russia. They have since regrouped in Germany, forming a new international lineup and continuing their musical journey.
