YAMMA TEIMAN ...songs of women from Yemen

The songs of Yemeni women are among the rarest and most moving treasures of the Jewish musical heritage. Passed down from generation to generation, this repertoire – born of the intimacy of the home – recounts the joys, sorrows, hopes and inner strength of women who have managed to preserve their identity despite hardship and oppression.
With remarkable sensitivity, Yamma Teiman brings this exceptional heritage to life. The ensemble’s luminous voices reveal the full beauty of these ancient melodies, blending fervour, poetry and emotion. Each song becomes a tribute to these women of extraordinary resilience, heirs to the legendary Queen of Sheba.
With its refined arrangements and authentic performance, this concert invites the audience on a musical journey of rare intensity, into the heart of the centuries-old traditions of the Jews of Yemen. An evening of emotion, discovery and beauty, where memories are passed on through music and where voices long confined to the private sphere now resonate with universal power.
