LeDavid Baruch for Motzae Shabbat French and Spanish tune - לדוד ברוך מוצאי שבת

French tune



Spanish tune



It's that bittersweet moment when Shabbat departs us but we know that Hashem has given us the strength and blessing to succeed for yet another week. The Motzae Shabbat service among Moroccans is one of the nicest and it begins with Michtam (to be recorded at a later time) and LeDavid at the onset of Arvit.
The French and Spanish Moroccans have slightly different notes for the tunes but they are very similar. For the purpose of study, I have recorded both versions.
Each recording consists of LeDavid (Tehilim 144), Lamnatzeah (67) and LeDavid Mizmor (24). Following these three chapters of Tehilim, the customs vary as to which concluding verses to recite prior to Kadish.
Spanish Moroccans recite: בשלום יחדו, ותשועת צדיקים, ה' צבאות עמנו
French Moroccans recite: ה' צבאות עמנו, הושיעה את עמך, ותשועת צדיקים

Az Yashir Moshe, Birkat HaLevana and more...

 Hi everyone, I recently recorded a new Az Yashir Moshe in maqam "mzmoum" - often sang on Shabbat Teruma but I like singing it throughout the year. Also, I recorded Birkat HaLevana sung in Moroccan Tehilim Melody. Lastly, given that it's Rosh Hodesh this week, I finally recorded the traditional "Barechi Nafshi" that is said prior to Arvit and at the end of Shaharit. See below.

Traditional Kadish - Friday Night and Shabbat morning

 Hi everyone, I received a request to record the traditional Kadish for both Friday Night and Shabbat Morning. It was often the custom in Spanish Morocco to recite the Kadish in these tunes most weeks. They are here below. Also, Tehilim continues to be updated on its respective page.  Friday Night Kadish Shabbat Morning Kadish

Selihot Lema'ancha Elohai - סליחות למענך אלהי

This song is recited every morning during Selihot, in addition to Shaharit of Yom Kippur. The tune is practically the same among all Sepharadim.
