Purimania – the Purim Album Your Kids (and You) Will Love + Hamentaschen Recipes

02/20/2018 by The Mama Maven

This post is a sponsored conversation for Purimania by Danna Banana. As always, all opinions are my own. 

Ready for Purim? Growing up, Purim was a big deal and now that I have little ones myself, it’s even more of a big deal. We always try to go to a Purim Party or a Purim Carnival. So I am excited to let you know about Purimania, a new album from award-winning family performer Danna Banana, writer of classics like “The Goofball” and “Suddenly Summer”. This is a stellar collection of tunes old and new celebrating the Jewish Holiday of Purim. Purimania – the Purim Album Your Kids (and You) Will Love + Hamentaschen Recipes

The story of Purim starts in the Persian Empire in the 4th Century BCE and the Jews were subjects. King Ahasuerus had his wife, Queen Vashti, executed because she didn’t follow his orders, so he had a beauty contest to find a new queen. A beautiful maiden named Esther became his new queen, but she wouldn’t tell him her nationality. During all this, a man named Haman became Prime Minister and he hated the Jews. Her cousin Mordechai who was the leader of the Jews, refused to bow to Haman. Haman got very angry and convinced the king to kill all the Jews on the 13th of Adar. Esther had a feast prepared and invited the king and Haman and at this feast, she told the king she was Jewish. The king turned against Haman and he was killed. Mordechai became prime minister and the Jews were finally allowed to defend themselves against their enemies.

Purim starts Wednesday night, February 28 and continues through Thursday, March 1, 2018, in the US (Ends March 2 in Israel).

Danna Banana is a well-loved performer with six albums out and numerous performances across the country. He is a John Lennon Songwriting Grand Prize Winner and named New York Magazine’s Best Party Entertainer. The New York Post called him a ‘ripe talent’ and a mom in New Jersey called him ’a piñata of listening pleasure’. Trained as an opera singer, he sang leading roles all over the country in such operas as La Boheme, Don Giovanni, and Carmen before turning his talents to children’s music.

While most of Danna Banana’s work is non-denominational music for kids, among his earlier albums include; Bananukah!, a celebration of Hanukah. That album’s success prompted him to create Purimania.

As in Bananukah!, Purimania mixes traditional songs with his own tuneful originals. Mr. Banana offers lively versions of classics like “In Shushan”, “Wicked Man”, and “Hag Purim” while “The Purimania Song” offers up his own whimsical version of the Purim story. In “Hamantaschen Party”, he uses recipes for Hamantaschen, the traditional cookie of Purim, as his lyric– both regular and gluten-free!

Check out Purimania! It’s the funniest, most danceable Purim music ever! Let’s party like it’s 330 B.C.! Here’s the title video:
