Al-Yaman is the Arabic name for the Republic of Yemen. Some say it means blessing and prosperity (al-yumn), others say it means on the right hand side of the Kaaba (yumna). The right hand side is a symbol of good fortune for Arabians, and this is in agreement with Arabia Felix which is the old geographer's name for the country. And we're lucky to have the group Al-Yaman from Prague. Singer Ashwaq Abdulla Kulaib came from Aden to study in the Czechian capital in 1990 and she stayed. She had been guest singer with Hypnotix before, here she is in the centre. Right by her side is Ales Hyvnar (Al-esh) who is the band's composer and keyboard player. Furthermore sharing the band experience, Jonathan Omer is an Israeli drummer, Bashar Ashhab a Palestinian darbuka player, Jan Hais a Czech bass player, and Tomas Reindl a multi-talent on tabla, didgeridoo and percussion. Al-Yaman is inspired by popular and traditional songs from the Arabic world, mostly of Yemen. They are fusing acoustic instruments and electronics, traditional tunes and modern dance rhythms and elements - and to great effect, dancers and listeners alike. And if that wasn't modern enough, two tracks had been remixed by Hypnotix and Transglobal Underground. Sounds from 1001 Nights as you never heard it before.
