the jews have been in yemen since the year 200, witch was long before Islam even came about for those who feel yemenite jews are real yemenis :)

The Purest jews amongst am israel there culture is middle eastern as they never wandered too far.

The whole part about the mediterranean music is so out of place and has no smiliarity with Yemenite Jewish music

[Shanniquitie]

the "mediterranean" style of music is not new, nor is it the province of jewish artists!

[AlmazB]

Ummmm this is NOT mediterranean style Yemen is in Southern Arabia. No it is not but they have their own unique style. That is what white folks call it mediterranean style, But they get a lot of stuff twisted. Its Okay

[josuelitos]

what language are they using?

[hisilia]

ii is what "languages" they are using. It is Hebrew and Arabic (Yemenite dialect). Sometimes also Arameic, a very old language spoken today only by Assyrians. But yes, they sound the same. Confusing, ha?

[AlmazB]

No not confusing at all. It is just that most people don't really know about non white jews

[Shanniquitie]

these are caucasian jews. of course if you're american and mean white as northern european, that falls flat. but that kind of unscientific attitude also leads to the kind of racism america is famous for ;p

[AlmazB]

Thank you.

[AlmazB]

Yeah my Abba's family is Teimanim. I heard this all the time growing up

[bintyyy]

@josuelitos they are singing in yemeni arabic.

[lachooch]
