In late autumn 2022 we took up the plan to make a new album together with Ulf Lindemann, a.k.a. Dunkelbunt. We’d been working pleasantly with him many years ago during the Balkan beats rage of the early 2000’s . Dunkelbunt produced a few great remixes using AKB originals “Naie Chuppe” and “Chassid in Amsterdam” undergoing a metamorphosis  into  “la Revedere” and “Black eyed sea”.
We were looking for a producer that could help us find an adventurous, out of the box approach, evolving into an album that would deliver an exciting blend of traditional klezmer, oriental melodies  and contemporary influences like pop, infused with an electric energy.

“Bomba Pop” became a musical journey, crafted by the Amsterdam Klezmer Band and Dunkelbunt in collaboration with talented guest artists. This album will provide an exciting listening experience for fans of klezmer, world music, and innovative cross-genre creations.
