Jewish-Yemeni culture comes alive in the music of Yemen Blues

Meet Ravid Kahalani, songwriter and lead singer of the popular Israeli band ’Yemen Blues.’ Ravid grew up in Israel surrounded by Jewish-Yemeni culture and later discovered his love for African music and Balkan orthodox liturgy. His music merges all these sounds to create a completely unique style. It’s only natural for him to sing in Yemeni-Arabic, and he dreams of performing in Yemen one day.
