Tis the Season: Ot Azoj Klezmerband and "Channukah, Oy Channukah"

Okay, so it's a little early in the season, but today's song is a holiday number by the Ot Azoj Klezmerband. Founded in 1994, the band plays music from the fictional country of Molvania, which consists of a blend of klezmer, Balkan, Turkish and Greek musics, as well as a sprinkling of Polish and Latin. The band was formed in 1994 in the Netherlands and is known for energetic performances using only acoustic instruments. They have released ten albums. This song, Channukah, Oy Channukah, can be found on their 1999 album Channukah - Festival of Lights.
