Ochil Ibragimov sings this Hebrew religious poem, called shi'ra, set to a melody from the six-piece shashmaqam called Mogulcha-i Dugah. Although the songs that make up part of each shashmaqam typically come from Tajik or Uzbek poetry, Ibragimov has taken advantage of the shi’ra’s similar meter to blend it with the shashmaqam melody. Suleiman Takhalov accompanies him on a kashgar rebâb.
