Some new Hanukkah Music for you

December 25, 2008 Leave a comment

Okay- so it’s probably not the Hanukkah music you remember growing up, but check out these new tracks from Erran Baron Cohen (who’s brother Sasha is better known as “Ali G” and “Borat”). Erran composed the music for his brother’s movie and has come out with a new album Songs in the Key of Hanukkah. Check out this video of “Dreidl” below.
