"Both on- and offstage, Tsibele members maintained a banter and friendliness with the audience... Even more notably, they guided the audience throughout their set, explaining the origins and personal significance of the songs they played. This... is a testament to the band’s ethos: they make traditional klezmer and Moldovan/Bessarabian music accessible and exciting, simultaneously paying homage to musical traditions and connecting it to contemporary listeners."
