Descripción de producto
It's instantly recognizable musical shorthand for anything Jewish, a happy party tune that you dance to at weddings, bar mitzvahs and even at Major League Baseball games. It conjures up wistful smiles, memories of generations past
and no shortage of eye rolling. But the song is much more than a tale of Jewish kitsch and bad bar mitzvah fashions. It carries with it an entire constellation of history, values and hopes for the future. In its own believe-it-or-not way, "Hava Nagila" encapsulates the Jewish journey over the past 150 years. It also reveals the power of one song to express and sustain identity, to transmit lessons across generations and to bridge cultural divides and connect us all on a universal level. Presented here is an entire cd devoted to "Hava Nagila" (22 versions!) along with 2 discs of other well-loved Jewish tunes. The diverse group of artists represented -- Harry Belafonte, The Andrews Sisters, Connie Francis, Celia Cruz, Chubby Checker, The Spotnicks, Johnny Mathis, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and many others -- is testament to the impact of Jewish music on popular culture.
