Description: PINK MARTINI is back on TOUR starting in Summer 2021! Check the link below to see if we're coming to a location near you! pinkmartini.com/shows From the December 2015 recording sessions for the syndicated NPR holiday special "Joy to the World: A Holiday Spectacular" at OPB Studios in Portland, Pink Martini performs "Ocho kandelikas" ("Eight little candles"), a counting song for Hanukkah. Featuring Pink Martini's lead vocalist China Forbes, co-lead vocalist Storm Large, regular guest vocalist NPR's Ari Shapiro, and Cantor Ida Rae Cahana, "Ocho kandelikas" is an upbeat gem from the band's seminal holiday album "Joy to the World." The song was written by Flory Jagoda in the rarely heard language of Ladino, a Judeo-Spanish language mixing elements of Old Spanish, Hebrew, Turkish, and other languages common to the Iberian Peninsula in the 16th century.
