"Ocho Kandelikas" (English, Eight Little Candles) is a Jewish song celebrating the holiday of Hanukkah. The song is sung in Ladino, a Spanish-derived language traditionally associated with the Sephardic Jewish community, whose ancestors lived in Spain before the 15th century CE. Despite its traditional-sounding tone, "Ocho Kandelikas" is a modern composition, written by the Jewish-American composer Flory Jagoda in 1983. (Wikipedia).

Performed by Jon Madof and Marlon Sobol of Zion80 along with vocalist Dan Saks (DeLeon, the LeeVees, the Macaroons)
