Jewish-Italian Popular Songs

Israeli-born, award-winning jazz singer Ori Dagan entertains us with an hour of popular songs that have Jewish/Italian connections. You will be delighted with his renditions of such classics as That’s Amore and Mambo Italiano (both written by Jewish songwriters), as well as favourites from Broadway shows with surprising Italian/Jewish connections. And best of all – he does it with a jazz twist for a lot more musical fun!
