Yemen Blues is a contradiction in plain sight. They’re a puzzle you unlock by finding the solution inside yourself. Solo voices in unison; a collective in many parts made up of founder Ravid Kahalani the talismanic audio guru; Shanir Blumenkranz with his twin role on bass guitar and oud spanning different worlds and different sonic systems; Rony Iwryn holding down the percussion chair, with an open heart, a thirst for salsa, and an ability to find strength in fragility; and Dan Mayo bringing a hip-hop crunch, concentrated hunger for fun and a machine-like sense of the human groove. Drawing on the individuality and the great traditions of the band members heritage, each note sings with a love for common humanity. “Spirituality unites us,” Ravid explains. “Love unites us. We move to extremes, but it’s soulful.”
