Album Description: Woe zo, shalom, and welcome to Reggae Chanukah: Where drum-laden groove music of African origin and inspiration underscores well-loved songs for the "stand up for your rights" holiday of Chanukah.
From the Caribbean: one drop reggae, the Rastafarian Nyabinghi heartbeat of thanks and praises to the Almighty, and ska’s upbeat skanks. From West Africa: traditional Ghanaian dance drumming and highlife. From Middle Eastern maksum played on doumbek and riqq (with clarinet) to batteries of Brazilian and Latin percussion as samba meets mambo for some salsa on their latkes.
May all the warming lights of the winter season and this joyous collection of music illuminate your own re-dedication to a groove that makes you move in a positive way!

This funky reggae Chanukah CD really brings the spirit... the reggae spirit... into this Jewish holiday. The songs are catchy and funny, too.
Rating: - It will grow on you....
The first time I listened to this CD I only liked a couple of songs, and was actually somewhat disappointed with my purchase. I decided to give it another listen, and am glad I did. It grew on me, in fact I walked around long after Chanukah was over singing some of the catchy tunes. If you want tradition - this isn't it, but it sure is a lot of fun, plus a little reggae goes a long way to brightening a winter day!
