Kochav Tzedek (Sahli) w/Kadish

Kochav Tzedek (Sahli) w/Kadish - כוכב צדק

In honour of Avraham Avinu and Parashat Lech Lecha, here I present to you the song "Kochav Tzedek" (A Righteous Star) written by the famous Moroccan Poet, Rabbi David Bouzaglo.
The song describes the life and accomplishments of our forefather, Avraham.
I love to sing this song during the Parashiyot which speak about Avraham in great detail i.e. Lech Lecha and Vayera.
At the end of the recording, I use the tune to the words of Kadish. A good choice of melody for this coming week and beyond.
This quatrain can be applied to many Tefilot and goes specifically well with:

Lecha Dodi
Yigdal

Maqam is SAHLI.

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.

Ki Eshmera Shabbat (Rasd Dil) w/Shavat Aniyim - כי אשמרה שבת (רצד דיל) עם ראו בנים

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. This tune of Ki Eshmera Shabbat was taken from the original song Tuvu Lilah Ya Nas which I've included in a picture below. In this recording I sing the piyut and adapt it to Shavat Aniyim. It fits well with: Lecha Dodi El Adon Adon Olam Yidgal La'el Baruch Rau Banim....or any other quatrain song. The maqam of this song as well as with most piyutim from Bakashot Parashat Vayehi is Rasd Dil.

Nakdishach Kedusha- קדושה נקדישך

Arguably the nicest tune for Kedusha out there. Made famous by R' Haim Louk. Enjoy!
