The Klein Party and South Hudson Music Project present Klezmer Starts Here!
A benefit for La Resistencia with Shpilkis and The Luz Bones.

Klezmer Starts Here! is a curated series in its third season at Seattle’s Royal Room featuring local and national klezmer musicians exploring the breadth and depth of Yiddish music.

La Resistencia is a grassroots organization led by undocumented immigrants and people of color who have been oppressed by the immigration enforcement system. Based in Washington State, they work to end the detention of immigrants and to stop deportations. Founded on March 7, 2014, to support a hunger strike launched by over 1200 people detained in Tacoma to protest their
confinement, La Resistencia began under the umbrella of the national #Not1More campaign as “NWDC Resistance.”

Today, La Resistencia is led by experts who know the system better than anyone; those who have been detained or have had relatives in deportation proceedings. They support and engage with people detained at the Northwest Detention Center organizing for their
own survival and protesting against the detention and deportation regime. Their goal is to shut down the NWDC, and to end all detentions and deportations in Washington State.

Shpilkis is an 8-piece klezmer brass band from Seattle. Since forming in 2017, Shpilkis continues to transform potential into kinetic energy on dance floors at simkhas, festivals, clubs, holiday events, and block parties. Shpilkis create a chaotic, loose, and raucoussoundscape, while also being organized and thoughtful. A fixture in the Yiddish music scene of the Pacific Northwest, Shpilkis
brings the party to the local klezmer scene and Yiddishkayt to the party music scene alike.
