The Maccabeats, an a cappella group that started out in 2009 as Yeshiva University's student vocal group, has come a long way.
Now an independent musical ensemble, and often traveling with little more than the shirts
on their backs and the ties on their necks, the Maccabeats have
entertained and inspired hundreds of audiences worldwide, from Alabama to New Zealand
and everywhere in between.
Using nothing more than the unadulterated
human voice, a clean-cut presentation, and a little Jewish humor, this
unique group of singers is able to connect with fans of all backgrounds
and ages.
This week they released their latest holiday video, a version -- actually multiple versions -- of Dayenu, one of the most popular songs in the Passover Haggadah. In the space of four minutes, they offer doo-wop, polka, funk, metal, island, dubstep (electronic music), and barbershop.
Enjoy!
