NEW CD!! Jewish 'Til You're Satisfied is here!!!
Oy Gevalt! LISTEN AND BUY
The follow up to 2004's enormously popular JEWISH FUNKEYMONKEYS, and featuring 17 ridiculously spirited, eclectic and electric arrangements of classic Jewish songs...from Disco Dayenu to Afrobeat Esa Enai, JEWISH 'TIL YOU'RE SATISFIED will incite ecstasy. As always with the FunkeyMonkeys, Funky Fiddler on the Roof is represented in the form of a classic soul Sunrise Sunset. There's 70's Israeli folk gold like Hallelujah (Sing A Song) & Salaam to Old Timey Black Spirituals Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho and Let My People Go. Plus, holiday favorites I Have A Little Dreidel, Hanukkah O Hannukah and many more. For the little ones, these songs are new. For the adults, they'll feel like new. The perfect Hannukah gift for children and families but you don't have to be Jewish to love it.
