Yemen Blues Grooves in S.F.11:17 am Wednesday, August 3, 2011by leigh cuen Monday August 1 Israeli singer Ravid Kahalani and his nine-member blues band, Yemen Blues, rocked the Independent in San Francisco. Kahalani sings in both his native Hebrew and his family's Yemeni dialect of Arabic, fusing jazz, Middle Eastern melodies, and funky blues into one modern brew.
Yemen Blues are no strangers to the Bay Area. They opened this year's Jewish Music Festival in early March with a performance in Berkeley. If, like me, you weren't lucky enough to catch Yemen Blues red-handed with blue tunes, you can check out the video of that Berkeley performance on youtube. Beteavon.
