Halleluhwah is a song by the krautrock band Can, on their 1971 album Tago Mago. The track, which originally took up a whole side of vinyl, lasts for 18 minutes and 28 seconds and is typical of the band's sound around 1971 in that it features a vast array of improvised guitars and keyboards, tape editing, and the rhythm section "pounding out a monster trance/funk beat" [1]. The drum beat for which the song is famous is repeated continuously throughout the course of the 18-minute jam, with the exception of several seconds of silence around 4 minutes in.
On front man Damo Suzuki's album V.E.R.N.I.S.S.A.G.E, a version of this song is performed along with one of Mushroom. His band at the time featured Can's Jaki Liebezeit on drums.
