SEPHARADIC RELIGIOUS SONG
Cantor Hazan Rebi İshak Maçoro
1918-2008
Istanbul
Cantor Isak Maçoro, who with his extraordinary voice led
the masses in Istanbuls biggest synagogues for more than
50 years and who was rightfully renowned internationally
as an outstanding hazzan has passed away. Born in
Hasköy in 1918, Cantor Isak Maçoro was selected for his
beautiful voice when still very young and served our
community for long years. He started his career as a cantor
at the Knesset Synagogue in 1939 and through his
extensive musical education he developed his tenor voice
to perform both alafranga (in the Western tradition) and
in alaturka maqams. He was educated by the famous
great rabbis of his time and then started working at the
Neve Salom Synagogue, when it opened in 1950. He was
also the cantor of the Sisli Synagogue until 1979. He then
started working at the Büyükada Synagogue in 1981 and
continued his work there until he retired. 8sak Maçoro,
whose voice enchanted so many for so long was
accompanied on his last journey on Thursday, 23 October

  • He is chanting in Judeo-Spanish to one of  the many dozens of Ottoman classical music makams.

  • I'm awed by this music, and though it's mournful, it's somehow comforting as well. Very warm.
