It originated from a piyyut called “La vocación de Abraham“, written in the 18th century by anonymous authors in the Ottoman Empire. It was later modified by an author from Morocco in 1890, who made it shorter and catchier. It became a popular song among the Sephardic Jews and some Klezmer bands. The song depicts Abraham as already born in the Jewish quarter, and follows his life based on some Jewish sources.
