Oi Vey!: 8th Day and "Ya'alili"

The random tune is a fun pop tune by a band called 8th Day, an Hasidic band from Los Alamitos, California formed by brothers Shmuel and Bentzion Marcus in 2004. The brothers grew up in a musically inclined, ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jewish home and the original band was formed as a fun family project. However, the band has since become a favorite on the Jewish music scene. The group draws its inspiration from traditional Jewish music, but also incorporates other styles such as power pop, blues and reggae. Bentzion Marcus describes his band as klezmer-funk-rock with additional styles ranging from Middle Eastern, rock, folk, country, jazz and blues. The band has released five studio and one live album. This song, Ya'alili, became a minor YouTube viral hit on its release, and can be found on the band's 2011 album Chasing Prophecy.
