Growing up, I would cherish the opportunity every Shabbat to recite this traditional, slow-paced melody to Tehilim. Originating in the Spanish cities of Morocco such as Tangiers and Tetouan, IMHO, I believe there is no sweeter version in the world. Think you've heard better? Feel free to send me an email with a recording. I'll be waiting.
Here is Chapter 1 for your listening pleasure. Our first installment of Tehilim Tuesday.
better? no! almost as good. "nicest in the world" agreed! a close second would be Damascus Syrian, (note the kids zeal :-) ) must have been some 30 or so, years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr-HBKmc7LQ מפי מפי עוללים ויונקים יסדת עוז
And that's the Iraqi way, not the Syrian way which I know he is well familiar with. I was fortunate enough to hear Habusha pray arbith in Brooklyn back in April.
This song is the Hebrew version of the famous Arabic song "Omri Na" composed by the late Sami El Maghrebi. The words are beautiful and the maqam is Nahawand (similar to Sahli). The tune can be sung for Kadish or Kedusha.
