"Tzena Tzena" was originally written in Hebrew by Yehiel Hagiz (lyrics) and Issachar Miron (music) in 1941. Both Hagiz and Miron were in the Jewish Brigade of the British Army. "Tzena Tzena" became an instant hit in what was eventually to become the modern state of Israel.

When the Weavers, featuring Pete Seeger on banjo, first recorded "Tzena Tzena" in 1950, they introduced the music of Israel to a generation of young Americans and in the following year, their version reached #2 on the American Billboard Charts.

"Tzena Tzena" has since been recorded and made famous by such artists as Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Richard Tucker, Chet Atkins, Connie Francis, Arlo Guthrie, Dusty Springfield, The Barry Sisters, Chubby Checker, and many others.

"Tzena Tzena" is one of the most recorded and best-known Jewish songs in the world.
