Bendigamos (track 14) is an exceptional Jewish song in Spanish, a paraphrase of the grace after the meals (especially for the Three Festivals) set to the traditional Portuguese tune of the Song of the Sea or Song of Moses. Solomon (1969) has shown some interesting threads in the path of Bendigamos from Southern France to Curaçao from where it also spread, in the early 20th century to the Spanish-Portuguese community of New York City.
