Fusing klezmer punk, Balkan brass, ska, and satire, Jewish Monkeys deliver explosive live shows packed with biting lyrics, sweaty energy, and theatrical chaos — like Gogol Bordello meets Zappa at a Yiddish cabaret.

The Jewish Monkeys are Tel Aviv’s wildest musical export: a satirical, genre-defying band fusing klezmer punk, ska, afrobeat, Balkan brass, and rock ‘n’ roll into a high-energy show that’s equal parts circus, theatre, and dancefloor riot. Known for their biting lyrics, sweaty live sets, and relentless sense of irony, they’ve played major European festivals, anti-fascist rallies, refugee camps, and national TV — leaving nothing sacred and no crowd standing still.

Statement:
Music Against Silence In the wake of the October 7th tragedy and the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine, the Jewish Monkeys — lifelong believers in peace, justice, and the two-state solution — have stood publicly and personally for ending the cycle of violence. As Israeli artists, we see Palestinians as our brothers and mourn every life lost. We believe in a better future for both peoples, built on mutual dignity and coexistence.
