Yosef Karduner - Mikimi - Brooklyn, Nov '05

Translation: Who is the Lord our G-d, who dwells on high [yet] looks down so low upon heaven and earth! He raises the poor from the dust, lifts the destitute from the dunghill, to seat them with nobles, with the nobles of His people.
From psalm 113
Yosef Karduner should be FAR more well known than he is. He is making the most accessible and beautiful Jewish music of anyone out there today. Although many of his songs are no more than 2 or 3 lines of a chapter of psalms or other Jewish prayer, the beautiful meaning of each prayer when sung to the beautiful melody of Yosef's niggun (song) will no doubt elevate your soul.

Yosef Karduner will be performing live in Chicago this Sunday, October 21, 2007 at 8170 McCormick Blvd @ 8pm. Come!

[jjschecter]

the "shaker guy" is grating.

[tokenlubav]

Yeah, its funny that you mention that. I think the intention was to have two people to add more to the stripped down sound (Yosef thinks that more musicians make the music sound better - which I would think most people disagree with). The second percussionist didn't seem to have a feel for the tunes. Oh well.

The first time I heard this song I did cry... it's a vividly, poignantly touching part of scripture.

[Gangotri108]

Excellent song.  I had to listen to it again. Thanks.

[abebaby]

shells guy needed to back off...he was the accompany, not the main instrument!

[kug123coxnet]

Jewish music at its best. A new sound and wonderful tempo. This song and Shir Hamalot by Yosef Karduner will certainly become a classic and will join with the great melodies of Shlomo Carlebach and other greats. I thank G-d for your talent.

Quién es como Yahweh nuestro Elohim, que está sentado en las alturas, que se humilla para mirar lo que hay en el cielo y en la tierra? El levanta al pobre del polvo, y al necesitado saca del muladar, para sentarlos con príncipes, con los príncipes de su pueblo. Tehilim 113:5-8

Maravillosa alabanza

[Singvangelist]

[desnukefan]

¡Quién es como Adonái nuestro Dios que mora en lo alto [y sin embargo] mira hacia tan bajo sobre el cielo y la tierra! El alza al pobre del polvo, levanta al menesteroso del muladar, para sentarlo con los nobles, con los nobles de Su pueblo.
