Be'er Weber has one of the most Arabic voices in Hasidic music.
In his new album, he performs dozens of songs from the best Shabbat melodies we grew up with, alongside uplifting and uplifting Shabbat songs, and with his warm singing, he gives them moving and captivating performances.
""It is known that all the Shabbatists are lovable, which is why he chose to dedicate his seventh album to songs from the seventh day - Shabbat," says his personal producer Eli Lax.
The opening rosary of the album is called "Khinisat Shabbat" and includes "Vashmaru" by Avraham Fried, "Kabbah One" by Meyla Kahn, as well as a graceful rendition of "Got Shabbat" by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, a new rendition of "Shalom Aleichem" to the familiar tune "Didan Netzach" performed by Ba'ari on his previous album, and it closes with "Yishmacho Be'Malchutach" by Shlomo Katz and "Nach Ein Shabbat" by Lipa, originally performed by MBD.
The arrangements on "A Shabbat Fabreng" belong to musician Naftali Moshe Schnitzler, one of the leaders in the US music industry and the most sought-after music producer in the field, who designed the album together with Lex in such a way that listeners could join in the singing and feel part of the choir. They also recruited the "Lev" choir for the production, under the baton of Abba Berkowitz.
The repertoire of songs chosen by Ba'ari and the production team is special. "We didn't go for the obvious. We were looking for a way to express the special flavor of Shabbat in Ba'ari's company, so we went with the materials that Ba'ari loves and is connected to," said Lex.
The album was concluded with the string "Lachbod Shabbat" containing songs from the Breslav and Chabad courts, alongside Carlebach songs, and was produced and arranged by the "LPR Project" - a musical group that includes unconventional musicians including Eli Lex, Moishe Schwartz and Avromy Bash, who create and perform unique music. In this string, they contributed their talent to the beloved Shabbat songs, with Beri hosting alongside him the hottest ensemble in the field of Hasidic singing - 'Zosh'.
So if you've ever dreamed of 'doing Shabbat' with the Weber brothers, this time you have the opportunity.
