A Cappella Group ‘Shir Soul’ Uses Colored Dreidels to Assign Vocal Roles While Performing a Medley of Chanukah Songs

Shir Soul, the New York City-based Jewish a cappella group, performs an amazing medley of three traditional Chanukah songs: “I Have a Little Dreidel,” “Mi Yimalel,” and “Ma’oz Tzur” in a modern harmonic style. Using dreidels in different colors to assign varying vocal parts to each member of the group, the singers vary from harmony (red) to melody (blue) to bass (green) to beat box (purple) throughout the song.

The song is currently available for download on iTunes.

Here’s another beautiful performance by Shir Soul as they perform the song “Salaam” in 2012.
