Yemen Blues Plays Hallel at the Triple Door

Yemenite Jewish and ancient Arabic sounds swirl with danceable Afro-funk in singer/composer Ravid Kahalani’s utterly distinctive band. An intense, multinational blend of Yemenite, West African, and jazz influences. Joining Kahalani (lead Vocal & gimbri) are Rony Iwryn (percussion), Shanir Blumenkranz  (bass & oud), Nikki Glaspie (drums), Salit Lahav (flute & sax), Navid Kandelousi  (violin & kamancheh), Yoed Nir (cello), Yonatan Voltzok (trombone), and Asa Kook (trumpet).
