Black Ox Orkestar
Black Ox Orkestar was a quartet of musicians from Montreal, Quebec who played European Jewish folk music. They formed in the summer of 2000 to explore their common Jewish heritage through music, which was entirely acoustic and sung in Yiddish. They played their last show in 2005 and released their final album in 2006.[1][2]
