Kroke (Yiddish for Kraków) is a Polish trio formed in 1992 in Kraków by three lifelong friends and graduates of the Kraków Music Academy, Tomasz Lato (double bass), Tomasz Kukurba (violin), and Jerzy Bawoł (accordion). Though known primarily as a Klezmer band, Kroke create and play original compositions that employ authentic ornamentation, with modes and scales from both Klezmer and Sephardic music, resulting in a sound both contemporary and Jewish.
The trio has collaborated with many artists, for instance violinist Nigel Kennedy, with whom they published the album East Meets East. In 2003, the band became a quartet when percussionist Tomasz Grochot joined, hence the album name Quartet.
