Yamma Ensemble‘s members stay true to the character of the Middle East, the region where they were born and raised. Their soulful Sephardic and Mizrahi music is accompanied by ancient musical instruments typical of the region, including kopuz, duduk, and hand drums. They perform the traditional music of the various Jewish diasporas (from Yemen, Babylon, Sepharad, and beyond) in Hebrew, Arabic, and Ladino (Judeo-Spanish), among others.
