En De Baer Hasde (Rasd Dil) with Lecha Dodi - אין די באר חסדי (רצד דיל) עם לכה דודי


Parashat Vayehi marks the end of the Book of Bereshit. The poets of Morocco used this opportunity to create some of the nicest tunes our Bakashot has to offer. The hymns associated with Vayehi are well known even to the beginner. Their sweet melodies are used time and time again throughout the year because they are easy to learn and fit well with the Tefila.

The song En De Baer Hasde is a heart warming tune that is very easy to learn.
In this recording I sing the piyut and adapt it to Lecha Dodi. It fits well with:

  • Rau Banim
  • Mizmor LeDavid Havu
  • El Adon
  • Yidgal
  • La'el Baruch
  • Shavat Aniyim....or any other quatrain song.



The maqam of this song as well as with most piyutim from Bakashot Parashat Vayehi is Rasd Dil.

Pesah 1 - Hagada shel Pesah complete - פסח 1 - הגדה של פסח שלם

Image
Despite the trials and stress leading up to the holiday, there's almost no better feeling when you sit around the table with you family celebrating the Pesah Seder. The Moroccan tradition of singing "Bivhilu" and the other glorious songs, make our feast one of the best in the world. Here is the most of the Hagada recorded for you to learn at your convenience. I omitted any section that had to do with Shabbat, so please take note. The songs found in the section of Nirtza and Shir Hashirim are also omitted.
This recording is Le'iluy Nishmat my brother in law, Yosef Amram ben Avraham Shelomo, whose nahala is today, 2 Nissan.

Thank you everyone for your support! Here is the entire Megila read with Moroccan Ta'amim. Purim Sameah!

Cuando el Rey Nimrod w/El Adon (Hijaz el Kbir) - אל אדון מקאם חג'אז אל כביר

For our 2nd song in honour of Avraham Avinu, here is the classic Sephardic melody of Cuando el rey Nimrod.
Although the current lyrics originate from Tangiers, Morocco in the late 1800s, the song goes even further back almost to the time when the Jews lived in Spain. It is arguably the most "Sephardic" song in the world. So popular that it has been recorded by many modern day Jewish artists.

I sing the first stanza of the song and go directly to El Adon. It fits perfectly. This fits tremendously with any quatrain song especially:
