Complete your The Yemenite Trio collection.

Damari's main focus is Jewish songs (Yemenite and Hebrew as well as Yiddish), and she is in excellent form on such traditional songs as "Bo'a Dodi," "Dumam," "Hiney Achalela" and "Ali Ha'esh. But she also turns her attention to the folk classics of Turkey ("Aman Dermendji"), Romania ("Foye Verde") and even South America ("Viva Jujuy," which comes from the Inca) with equally appealing results.

A-WA (Arabic for Yes) is an Israeli band made up of the three sisters Tair, Liron, and Tagel Haim. Their single "Habib Galbi" ( Love of My Heart ) became a world hit, with its Yemenite traditional music mixed with hip-hop and electronic music. Born in the community settlement of Shaharut, a community of about 30 families in the desertic Arava Valley of southern Israel, the Haim sisters were born to a father of Yemenite Jewish origin and a mother of mixed Ukrainian and Moroccan Jewish heritage.

Yemenite Songs (Hebrew: שירי תימן) is a 1984 album by Ofra Haza, in which the Israeli pop star returned to her roots interpreting traditional Yemeni Jewish songs with lyrics coming from the poetry of 16th century Rabbi Shalom Shabazi. The songs are sung in Hebrew with a Yemenite dialect and in Arabic.

Where did you learn the Yemenite songs you sing? We met the Yemenite community and learned the Yemeni-Arabic dialect when we visited our grandparents in Hadera. We’d hear Yemenite music at weddings. I always knew that one day I would record an album in the Yemeni dialect, but I didn’t know it would be my first album, and with my sisters. Did Ofra Haza inspire A-Wa? Of course. We grew up listening to her music and we saw her success in the world. But Aharon Amram is the real pioneer of this beautiful Yemenite music in Israel. What other Yemenite-Israeli artists are happening? There’s Shai Tsabari, who sings mostly in Hebrew, with Yemenite pronunciation. Yemen Blues are our friends, and we collaborate sometimes.

Tair, Tagel, and Liron Haim - and yes, they were known as the Haim Sisters before A-Wa - are Jewish, but sing in Arabic, resulting in music that has found popularity in Israel and neighbouring Muslim nations.

Three Israeli sisters have built up a passionate fan base at home and abroad with music that fuses past and present with a twist: A mix of "Yemenite" folk, hip-hop and Arabic. Looking rather like heroines from the Arabian Nights - apart from the tennis shoes - the sisters in traditional embroidered dresses who make up the band A-WA recreate a desert party at their energetic concerts. I heard traditional Yemenite music for the first time when I was young, at a henna ceremony," a tradition at Jewish, Arab and Muslim weddings, Tair Haim said. I started to get excited about this tradition. I learned the songs by heart. I knew that I wanted to do something with i. In a secret operation dubbed "Flying Carpet" between 1949 and 1950, nearly all of Yemen's 45,000 Jews left to the newly-created state of Israel, the Haim family included.
