Hava Nagila Around the World - 100 Serbian Trumpets Play the Jewish Classic Song

"Sto Srpskih Truba" (100 Serbian Trumpets) is a unique musical ensemble composed of the top trumpet players from southern and western Serbia, particularly renowned performers from the Guča Trumpet Festival. 

 

Formed by journalist and music historian Dragan Babić, the group showcases the power and versatility of the Serbian trumpet, blending traditional folk melodies with modern arrangements. 

 

The ensemble features leading trumpeters from acclaimed orchestras such as those led by Dejan Lazarević, Veljko Ostojić, Ekrem Mamutović, Siniša Stamenković, Aca Novković, Milan Nikolić, Dejan Jevđić, Miroljub Kremić, and Mija Bondžulić. Under the musical direction of Maksut Maksutović Maksa, a descendant of the legendary Koštana, the orchestra delivers powerful performances that range from solemn marches to lively folk dances.

 

So what song do you expect them to play? Hava Nagila, of course. Since we started Jewish Humor Central in 2009 we have posted 131 different versions of Hava Nagila.
