Settel encountered the Messiah of the Jews while working as a professional singer in the States in 1984. His rich, warm baritone/bass voice quickly turned to Messianic praise songs of such quality and this cassette is one of several released. 'Delight In The Shabbat' features 16 songs, many becoming Sabbath favourites. Wonderfully catchy Hebraic melodies sung in the original language and though an English translation would be handy the spirit of worship is powerfully present. He does break into English sometimes though. Beautiful, sensitive music.
