Vinyl LP - David Abikzer - Oriental Songs, 1960s
The Renowned Israeli Folk Singer David Abikzer sings Oriental songs accompanied by Oriental Ensemble.
An early (1965 or 1966), unknown US recording of cantor and lithurgical singer, David Abikzer. Abikzer, born in Morroco in 1939, immigrated to Israel in 1956. In 1965 he was invited to New York to serve as the musical director of the Sephardic synagogue in Cedarhurst.
The LP features well known Moroccan songs and piyyutim such as Shalom LeVen Dodi, Kohavi Shaka and Yismach Moshe, as well as song dedicated to Eli Cohen, the Israeli spy executed in Damscus in 1965, and a song dedicated to Nathan Elbaz, who immigrated from Morroco as a teenager and during his army service sacrificed his life to save his friends by pressing an activated hand grenade to his chest.
These last two songs were originally performed by Jo Amar, whose singing style is similar to Abikzer's. The LP also features several original songs by Abikzer, as well as a song for the Sabbath, Yom Ze Le'Yisrael, to the tune of well-known Flamenco classic.
The album was produced by the American-Jewish musicologist, Velvel Pasternak. Abikzer is backed by an 'Oriental Ensemble.'
