Internationally renowned oud player, vocalist and percussionist, Yohai Cohen returns to Australia to perform at the 2019 WOMADelaide (and Camelot!!!). He performs Moroccan Andalusian and cha’abi (popular) music in Hebrew and Arabic.
In June 2017, Yohai Cohen officially launched his new Quintet, a Moroccan Jewish music project with sold out concerts in Melbourne and Sydney, captivating crowds with an exciting range of energising, foot-stomping songs of celebration, melancholy hymns and outstanding musicianship. Improvisation plays a key part in their animated and vivid performance.
