Re: Spanish Hannukah songs

[Jewish Music Heritage Trust <jewishmusic...>]

The most beautiful Chanukah Album I have heard was one I used to sell at
Jewish Music Distribution UK called 'Light the Candle',  made by Ariella
Barlev of 6643 Cutting Boulevard, El Cerrito Ca  94530 Tel 415 233 6739.  I
dont know if she made a CD from this or if she made and more albums and if
her albums are still around. She has a beautiful voice, wonderful
arrangements and includes Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino and contemporary American
Chanukah songs.
