Yemen Blues In Concert: Music, Drinks, Hummus, and Community
Ravid Kahalani is Israeli, but his family originally hails from Yemen. He and his group, Yemen Blues, explore the richness of Jewish and Arab-Muslim music, transcending national, ethnic, and religious boundaries in the process.
Kahalani daringly adds jazz, funk, soul, even West African Griot music to old Jewish and Arab Muslim traditions from the Arab peninsula. Using different musical styles, he uninhibitedly mixes the languages of his lyrics.
