**Jewish Monkeys** are a genre-blending, satirical klezmer-punk outfit from Tel Aviv known for their anarchic live shows and multicultural sound. Founded by Jossi Reich, Roni Boiko (who met in a Frankfurt synagogue choir as kids), and Gael Zaidner, the band mixes klezmer, Balkan beats, ska, and punk with lyrics in English, Yiddish, Spanish, and Esperanto. Their lineup often expands to eight members, including collaborators like accordionist Ran Bagno and surf-rock influences from Boom Pam, creating a chaotic blend that's been described as "Frank Zappa-ish horseplay meets cabaret". With albums like *Mania Regressia* and *High Words*, they’ve built a reputation for provocative, self-aware humor—embracing political incorrectness while avoiding overt activism, letting their multilingual absurdism and minor-key revelry speak for itself. Recent tracks like *Walk of Life* and *High Words* showcase their signature mix of frenetic energy and Yiddish-inflected theatricality.
