Keyli Ata from Kapelya by RAZA רזא
Keyli Ata, an exquisite nigun by R' Shneur Zalman, the Alter Rebbe or Admor HaZaken, founder of Chabad Hasidut. One of ten nigunim attributed to him, these words from Tehilim are traditionally sung during the Hallel prayer.
In Chabad, this powerful melody is sung at meaningful life-cycle ceremonies, such as the Brit Mila. It is also sung is at the very end of the Passover Seder, accompanying a special Chabad custom where the wine from Elijah’s cup is poured back into the wine bottle. As small children, my father would sing it to us as a lullaby, and that inspired this tender recording for RAZA's "Kapelya", a soft, powerfully caressing close to the album.
Dedicated by my dear Bubbe, Esther Raskin, in loving memory and honor of our Zayde, Scholom Ber (Berke) Raskin
