All the well-known pieces are here: Hava Nagila, Bashana Haba’a, Simontov and many others. The Hora is appropriate for any party, whether wedding, Barmitzvah or just a plain ol’ party.

Chuppa
The Matzoh Boys can play a selection of traditional tunes during the service. These may be instrumental or they can work with a cantor. Typical pieces are:

For the arrival of the Groom – Mehera
For the arrival of the Bride – Boi V’shalom or Erev Shel Shoshanim
For the circling of the Groom by the Bride – Eshet Chail
Before the breaking of the glass – Im Eskachech

Barmitzvahs
The Matzoh Boys provide a fantastic soundtrack to your celebration. They get everyone of all ages dancing the Hora, and can also provide a dance instructor, a party band and a DJ.

For those children who play musical instruments, they love to get them up on the stage performing with the band. The Matzoh Boys can organise rehearsals prior to the event and create arrangements tailored to their level on their instrument.

Party Band
Simply add the amazing singer Kita from Brazil and the drummer Noam from Israel and The Matzoh Boys transform into a fantastic party band, playing some of the best funk, soul and rock’n’roll you will hear this side of the Atlantic. The Matzoh Boys specialise in keeping the party going to the small hours and the dance floor full.
