Jewish Traces in Unexpected Places: Hava Nagila on Ocarina in South Korea

One of the joys of posting videos on Jewish Humor Central is discovering new versions of traditional Jewish and Hebrew songs as they are performed around the world, often in unexpected places.

Since we started Jewish Humor Central 13 years ago we have posted 103 different versions of Hava Nagila. The song has shown up in many countries, including some unexpected ones (Scroll down the left column on this page and click on "Hava Nagila" in the Keywords list and you'll see what we mean.)

Today we're posting our 104th version of Hava Nagila as played on a South Korea TV show this week on the ocarina, a woodwind musical instrument that is closed at both sides to produce an enclosed space, and punctured with finger holes. on a TV show in South Korea. 

Enjoy!
