Maccabeats

Five years ago, the Maccabeats catapulted to stardom on the heels of their viral Hanukkah music video, “Candlelight,” which now has more than 10 million views on YouTube. Next week, the group will be releasing their first Hanukkah album, featuring seven new tracks—and we have one of them. It’s an original bluegrass-inflected composition for “Hanerot Hallalu” (“These Candles”), the traditional prayer said over the lit Hanukkah menorah.

The album will be available on iTunes next week, and you can pre-order it here.
