On the path to becoming one of the greatest musical breakthroughs coming out of Israel in recent years, this hot musical trio is a set of fashionably-clad Yemenite sisters

The A-WA sisters are ready to launch their first international tour in Tel Aviv before heading to the United States. Inspired by their grandparents’ age old immigrant story and the traditional Yemenite melodies and songs that they brought with them, the Israeli band, A-WA is making waves across Israel and the greater Middle East.


The band, which is made up of three sisters, Tair, Liron, and Tagel Haim, first came on to the music scene when their single entitled “Habib Galbi,” meaning “Love of My Heart”, became an international hit launching the young and talented, yet unassuming, sisters into stardom (and even garnered a worldwide remix featuring Pitbull). The group combines traditional Yemenite folk tunes, like the music they grew up hearing at their grandparents’ house, with electronic, reggae and hip-hop influences creating what they like to call “Yemenite folk n’ beat,” a unique blend of genres that is unlike anything the world has heard before. 

Since the release of their newest album, Bayti Fi Rasi, their international fan base has mushroomed and reached new heights on the global stage. The group has not only received a Gold Album but they have also been featured in international magazines such as Rolling Stone, Vogue, Nylon and Glamour. The widespread recognition has attracted a large and diverse fan base, inspiring young women from all over the world to be confident, driven, and creative. Despite the niche language barrier, the band’s modern and fresh sound is something that everyone can relate to, no matter their background or native tongue.

A-WA, July 17, doors at 20:30, performance starts at 22:00. Barby, 52 Kibbutz Galuyot Rd, Tel Aviv. Link to Event
