    ​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.
