The Center for Jewish Culture in collaboration with the House of Israel and A Culture of Peace proudly presents Yemen Blues ? with Ravid Kahalani in a San Diego premiere performance.
Hailed by Time Out Chicago as ?one of the most exciting bands in world music right now,? Yemen Blues creates a joyous sound that mixes Yemenite, West African and jazz influences.
Yemenite vocalist and composer Kahalani leads a rare combination of musicians from New York, Uruguay and Tel Aviv to produce thoroughly original music that ranges from blues to funk and mambo to African soul. Yemen Blues is about creating what Kahalani calls ?moments of soul,? swooping from clear falsetto into a gravelly baritone, switching from Yemenite Arabic to Hebrew to Haitian Creole.
Admission/Cost: $20 - $25
Location:
La Paloma Theater
471 South Coast Hwy. 101
Encinitas, CA 92024
