You might not know this, but the working title of our new album was New York Sessions. Among many other things, We Were Made For These Times is a love letter to the city where it all started nearly 40 years ago.

This weekend, The Klezmatics and Roots and Chords Music officially wrapped up the first chapter of our 40th-anniversary celebration, and we want to thank everyone who helped bring this project into the world.

Special thanks to our extraordinary collaborators: SofĂ­a Rei, Joshua Nelson, Eric Williamson, Lavender Light Gospel Choir, Janis Siegel, Enver Ä°zmaylov, James Brandon Lewis, William Parker, La Manga, Angela Gabriel, Holly Near and all the artists, singers, musicians, and friends who contributed their talent and spirit to these songs.

Deep gratitude to Danny Blume for producing, engineering, and mixing the album; Alan Silverman for mastering; Ann Nikolaienko, Alyona Krasytska, Aleksei Sokolov, Leila Wice, Alexandra Litvinova, Dmitry Rozin, and Nail Mubinov for helping create the visual world of the project; and to Jeremy Delaney, Will Bryant, David Darlington, and everyone behind the scenes who helped bring the music, videos, and story of this album to life.

Thanks to our partners at Shamus Records, Asphalt Tango Records, Girlie Action Media, Singing Resistance, Kaleidoscope Sound, Falcon Studio and all the presenters, venues, festivals, journalists, photographers, videographers, designers, and community partners who supported this journey.

And most importantly, thank you to everyone who donated, bought a ticket, pre-ordered an album, listened, shared a post, brought a friend, sang along, or simply believed in this project.

We were made for these times.

More to come soon. Stay tuned klezmatics.com

Shamus Records is proud to announce the signing of Bruno Del Rey to an exclusive recording agreement.

“Dança Derradeira” marks Bruno Del Rey’s first release with Shamus Records, opening a new chapter in his artistic journey and expanding the international reach of his music. The track deepens his Brazilian and Latin musical identity while maintaining the spirit of 1970s soul as its guiding thread, now enriched with Afro-influenced percussion and rhythm.

TRO Essex Music Group, alongside its label arm Shamus Records, is proud to announce the signing of Absolight to an exclusive publishing and recording agreement.

In their first collaboration together, Absolight covers one of the iconic TRO Essex songs, Lead Belly’s “Black Betty.” A perennial rock song throughout the decades covered by Ram Jam, Spiderbait, Nick Cave, Tom Jones, and Dinosaur Jr., this latest rendition is out everywhere today. Absolight continues to build on the song’s legacy with a contemporary, no-frills rock version.

Heavily influenced by the legacy of British rock, Absolight blends energetic alternative rock with complex sonic textures and unforgettable melodies. Their sound, which evolved through close collaboration with David Beaudry, a friend and associate member who plays a behind-the-scenes role as a co-composer and arranger, often transcends rock, blending elements of punk, pop, and even classical music. This eclectic style has led to frequent comparisons to renowned British rock bands like Muse.

This signing continues TRO Essex Music Group’s long-standing tradition of championing culturally significant and influential artists. The company’s catalog represents some of the most iconic voices in music history, including Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Lead Belly, Bill Evans, Pete Townshend, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Toshi Reagon and many more.

Absolight joins a dynamic and growing roster of contemporary artists shaping the future of the TRO and Shamus legacy, including Crys Matthews, Alex Wong, Siibii, St. Catherine’s Child, Flamy Grant, Jaden Evans, Casii Stephan, Sam Robbins, Sam Louis, amongst others.

With this partnership, TRO Essex Music Group and Shamus Records reaffirm their commitment to amplifying powerful voices and fostering artistry that reflects the cultural moment, continuing a legacy built on music that moves, challenges, and inspires.
