      The Chutzpah! Festival presents Yemen Blues, a night of music at Venue nightclub (881 Granville Street) on February 27 and 28.

      Vocalist Ravid Kahalari and his musicians—Israeli percussionist Itamar Doari, Israeli-Uruguayan percussionist Rony Iwryn, New York bassist and oud player Shanir Blumendranz, and New York trumpeter Itamar Borochov—create irresistible, rhythmic  music that will make you want to dance. Yemen Blues is all about creating “moments of soul”, swooping from clear falsetto to a gravelly baritone, switching from Yemenits Arabic to Hebrew or Haitian Creole.

      Tickets to Yemen Blues are $30.50 to $35.75 and available online in advance.
