Are there any games available on GOG that have klezmer music, or musin in a similar style?

(For those not aware, much of the music in the musical Fiddler on the Roof would be considered klezmer. Also, you sometimes hear this sort of music at Jewish events. Some other places, like Greece, have similar music styles, as well.)

I have no clue whether these contain Klezmer music, but going by their theme alone, I think they may be good contenders in that regard:

Any other ideas? I'd prefer games with somewhat more upbeat themes. (The ideas mentioned appear to be rather dark, taking about the realities of World War 2 and the Holocaust; those don't seem like the games I'd want to play if I want some light-hearted fun with good music.)
No proper (upbeat) Klezmer either, but does share some of the same typical instrumentation and/or musical DNA (Django Reinhardt-like Gypsy Swing/Jazz or German/Bavarian Volksmusik):

Is the music from Yaga any close to what you're looking for?
The robot band tune in Machinarium (not really klezmer, but maybe close enough?)
