Traditional Jewish music

Posted by genglish on March 16th, 2010 and filed under Jewish Music | 25 Comments »

Traditional Jewish Yemenite music comprised of prayers, stories and chants sung together with drums or clapping.
It is sung before the ceremony of havdalah, religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat or holidays, and ushers in the new week.

Translation from hebrew: : My soul longs for the candle and the spices. If only you would pour me a cup of wine for Havdalah. O angels high, pave a way for me, clear the path for the bewildered and open the gates that I may enter, My heart yearning, I shall lift up my eyes to g-d, who provides for my needs day and night.
