Oi Va Voi

London-based music group known for blending klezmer and electronic elements; debut album Laughter Through Tears was released in 2003 on Outcaste Records.

The group was described in the DeBaser review as six London-based musicians. Members mentioned in reviews include Sophie Solomon (violin) and Lemez Lovas (trumpet and vocals), both noted as having Russian origins.

DeBaser hosts one review of Oi Va Voi's debut Laughter Through Tears, which criticizes the album's attempt to blend Yiddish/klezmer elements with electronic production. The reviewer acknowledges catchy moments but finds the fusion superficial and lacking depth. Overall the review describes the record as stylish but trivial.

For:Listeners of world music, folktronica and critics interested in ethnic-electronic fusions.
