Hava Nagila Around the World - Russian Singer Alla Reed Sings in Israel


Since we started Jewish Humor Central back in 2009, we've posted 72 versions of Hava Nagila -- arguably the most played Jewish song ever, as performed in so many countries around the world. Some of these renditions have been in Israel, of course, but somehow each one has a different character.

So today we're continuing this tradition with version number 73, just posted on YouTube by a talented Russian singer who also sings in Hebrew and Yiddish.

Alla Reed is a Russian singer, soloist of the Gradsky Hall theater, 1/4 finalist of the Voice-4 show (Channel One), finalist of the international competition New Wave (Jurmala), winner of the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival ( Montreux, Switzerland), and a resident of the projects "Jazz in Motion" and "Jazz in the House of Cinema".

Alla also sings in Yiddish and Hebrew as part of the Jewish Jazz format, the combination of ethnic melodies and jazz sound gives the songs a special flavor. In 2007 the disc “Two lands” was released, in which this concept was reflected.

Enjoy!
