------------------------

"Hava Nagila" (הבה נגילה Havah Nagilah, "Let us rejoice") is a Jewish traditional folk song in Hebrew, that has become a staple of band performers at Jewish weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. Roberta Grossman directed a documentarial explanation of what is Hava Naguila.

Origin

The melody was taken from a folk dance-song (a variant of Hora) from Bucovina.
It uses the Phrygian dominant scale common in music of Romania.
The commonly used text was probably composed by Abraham Zevi (Zvi) Idelsohn in 1918 to celebrate the British victory in Palestine during World War I as well as the Balfour Declaration. Psalm 118 (verse 24) of the Hebrew Bible was the source of Hava Nagila.

Notable performers

Abraham Zvi Idelsohn produced the first commercial recording in 1922 on the Polyphon Record label as part of a series which recorded 39 Hebrew folk songs.
Singer Harry Belafonte is known for his version of the song, which was recorded for his album Belafonte at Carnegie Hall in 1959.
He rarely gave a concert without singing it and stated that his two "stand out" songs are "The Banana Boat Song" and "Hava Nagila".
Belafonte explained: "Life is not worthwhile without it. Most Jews in America learned that song from me."
Harry Belafonte's version also sang it in a comedy scene in Tamil Movie Mozhi.

Neil Diamond, in addition to having performed Hava Nagila in such of his shows as his 1994 Live In America concert, incorporated it into a memorable scene in the 1980 version of The Jazz Singer, in which he acted out a cantor with popular-music ambitions.

American thrash metal band Anthrax sampled Hava Nagila's main melody at the beginning of their song I'm the Man.
Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica usually ends its shows performing a humorous song, usually referred to as The Vodka Song, played on the tune of Hava Nagila.
