“From his edgy hairstyle to his unbeatable charisma onstage, Yemen Blues frontman Ravid Kahalani’s eccentricities shine through every aspect of his being.” -Jerusalem Post

Omer Avital is praised by critics as “extraordinary” New York Times; “roaringly inventive” Jazziz; and, “one of the most exciting musicians to come onto the jazz scene in the last 20 years” Downbeat

“Some acts are so unique, so hard to describe, they even go so far as to invent their own language. Quite simply, it’s one of the most exciting bands in world music right now” -Time Out Chicago

Ravid Kahalani and Omer Avital first collaborated with the creation of acclaimed musical act “Yemen Blues.” Since the group’s breakthrough in 2011, Yemen Blues has gone on to great international success. After several years of separation – while Avital focused on his glorious personal Jazz career and Kahalani led Yemen Blues at hundreds of outstanding live shows around the globe – the two decided to again join forces and present a new collaboration in their own powerful musical language that has only matured and grown stronger over the years.

Join us at the Rickshaw for this new energetic project influenced by Yemenite Jewish culture and Afro Funk groove. If you’ve experienced the excitement of Yemen Blues and the magical performances of Jazz great Omer Avital, then the fusion this new show brings will definitely entice and excite!
