A-Wa + Maya Kamaty

Israeli sisters Tair, Liron and Tagel Haim channel Yemeni folk music and electronic beats as A-Wa, showcasing three-part vocal harmonies and lyrics written in Yemeni Arabic. The group's debut album, Habib Galbi, was produced by Balkan Beat Box frontman Tomer Yosef, who fuses the sisters' distinctive, traditional sound with modern embellishments. Singer-songwriter Maya Kamaty, who hails from an island off the coast of France, opens this free World Music Festival show.
