With its explosive, 21st century brew of Yemenite-Jewish song and poetry, West african grooves and american jazz, blues and funk, Yemen Blues is the most exciting new world music act out of israel. the nine-piece ensemble creates a breathtaking musical experience brimming with innovation, celebration and virtuosity fleshed out with oud, gimbri, strings and percussion and led by the charismatic israelie-Yemenite singer ravid kahalani and jazz bassist-arranger omer avital.

The addition of an all-star supporting cast of musicians from New York, israel and Uruguay to kahalani’s powerful voice and persona catalyzes Yemen Blues concerts into ecstatic celebrations, often erupting into dance-fueled frenzies.

Come prepared to dance!
