Here Come the Passover Videos: "Red Sea Shanty: A Pirate Passover" by Six13

Six13 is a groundbreaking, six-man a cappella vocal band that brings an unprecedented style of Jewish music to the stage, with songs ranging from hip-hop dance tracks to rock anthems. The members of the New York City-based group sound like a full band – while using nothing but their voices.

They’re driven by a mission to connect Jews around the globe with their heritage through music, anchored by a strong Jewish identity, and fueled by thumping beatbox, intricate arrangements, and soulful harmonies.

Last Pesach we shared Six13's  A Lion King Passover, in which they harmonize singing original Pesach-related lyrics to Circle of Life, I Just Can't Wait to be King, and Hakuna Matata, hit songs from The Lion King.

This year they're giving us Passover​ on the high seas, diving right in to the sea shanty craze -- and dropping anchor and celebrating freedom with a hearty round of sailing songs including The Wellerman, Drunken Sailor, and the theme from Gilligan's Island.

Enjoy!
