THE YEAH YEAH YEMEN

...and friends!

About Me

.....an open collective of music lovers, a travelling circus for everybody to join in. Born in January 2007 when the German Dada-Terror-Polka outfit 'Kamerakino' were invited to Sana'a to collaborate with local musicians with financial help by the German House and the Ministry of Culure, Yemen. Sebastian Kellig and Sebastian Meyhoefer fell in love with Yemeni music, the harsh mountain stretches, the lush wadis, the invincible tribes people and stunning architecture. They returned to Sana'a in October 2007 and travelled the country together with Murad al-Aqrabi and collaborated with local musicians, writing one song for each of the areas the passed. They enjoyed unprecedented success, colaborating with high-profile musicians such as Ahmed Maheub, and enjoyed spritual guidance by Ayoub Tarish. They also recorded an album at Sab'a Sounds, Taizz, as well as The Yemen Music House Studios, Sana'a.Anybody who enjoys Arabic music and is open for new experiences is welcome to join in. ..
