The combination of traditional Saharan strings, cello and acoustic guitars, and the fact that these songs are sang for the first time by a man – creates a unique soundtrack that takes the listener into the deep world of the women in Yemen. This is Gulaza: secret Yemenite women songs unveiled and sang for the first time by a man, the dazzling Igal Gulaza Mizrahi, masterfully accompained by three graceful musicians. |
