Bint El Funk is a pioneering groove band who has founded the genre Yemen Funk. Thier style is based mainly on a combination of funk with traditional Jewish Yemenite music, influenced by Afro beat, jazz, Mediterranean music, psychedelic‐Turkish music and more. Alongside the Yemenite texts are love songs, social protest songs, Bedouin nonsense, and poetry. Each performance quickly becomes a native tribal party with sounds, rhythms, colors, and scents, which unite on a thread connecting Sana’a in Yemen, Harlem in the US, and the Shaariya neighborhood in Petach Tikva, Israel.
