When they left Morocco, the Jews took off with them their religious singing, the hazanout. Gathered in the Buffault Synagogue in Paris, Rabbi Haïm Louk and his hazanim (cantors) Malkiel Benamara, Albert Bouadanah, Gad Benchabat, Elie Tordjman and Salomon Nahmias, all born in Morocco, sing these songs living memory of the community, which mark every moment of the Jewish life, and particularly the Time of Shabbat. These love songs, rendered in the modes of the Andalusian noubas, free the soul from its terrestrial bindings to carry it in a mystical ascension to its heavenly home. These songs gather groups of adepts of King David the Psalmist, called the "Keepers of the Dawn".
