Veretski Pass (band)

{{Short description|American Klezmer band}}

Veretski Pass is a klezmer trio using traditional instrumentation of accordion, violin, cimbalom and bowed double bass. They are based in the United States, and are named after Verecke Pass, the mountain pass through which Magyar tribes crossed into the Carpathian basin to settle what later became the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Members of this group have previously played in other Klezmer groups such as Budowitz and Brave Old World.

The band's music has a mix of Carpathian, Jewish, Romanian, Ottoman, Moldavian, Bessarabian, and Polish influences, amongst others.{{cite web|url=http://www.veretskipass.com/Home.html|title=Introduction at the Veretski Pass official site|accessdate=2008-11-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080807161450/http://veretskipass.com/Home.html|archive-date=2008-08-07|url-status=dead}}
