Yama Yemen

A performance by the Yama Yemen Ensemble, bringing back to the stage the sounds and voices of Yemenite Jewish culture, with a special focus on women’s singing, a rich musical tradition passed down through generations and rarely heard beyond the community itself.

The performance blends sacred and secular songs alongside musical gems discovered in rare archives, offering a journey into an ancient Jewish culture preserved through generations in exile. Under the artistic direction of the ensemble’s founder, Talia G. Soulan, the group presents traditional Yemenite singing in a live acoustic performance. Accompanied by traditional instruments and powerful voices, the music creates an emotional experience that connects memory and tradition, inviting the audience into a world of depth, heritage and warmth.
