I have heard him in person, and he has a phenomenal voice. He sometimes uses more electronic amplification than he needs, however, which can damage the eardrums. Just turn down the speaker volume output, and it will be heavenly.
Yechiel is an excellent singer - I have heard him in concert before Purim once. Here he is singing in Nusach Yerushalmi, which is from Syrian Jews and it is used in most Sefardi prayer in Israel. His voice is like Teimani Jews, though. Very beautiful effort. I can hear him all day and not get tired.
He's Jewish. Period. Not "Syrian" or "Yemenite" (these aren't even ethnicity names). You people use to get confused because Jews call themselves by the gentilic. That's why we have "Ashkenaz" and "Sepharad", nothing to do with German and Spain.
@YetAnotherJew What you say comes from a good place, but it is wrong. It is important to love all Jews (and people, incidentally), but we should also be proud of our unique intraJewish heritages. the diversity of the Jewish people is a beautiful thing, and it would be a tragedy if we didn't recognize the unique contributions of yemenites and yekkes, Ethiopians and Egyptians, Italians, Indians and Iraqis, Syrians and Spanish-Portuguese, Galicianers, Dutch, and so on. each qehila is a treasure
@YetAnotherJew I disagree. I'm an Iranian Jew and I am just as much Iranian as I am Jewish. I am a Mizrachi Jew, so the Sefarad and Ashkenaz argument doesn't apply to me. ;)
Is he Yemenite...or is he of some other descent? Gorgeous--mizrahi chazzans DO do it best. Makes my hair stand up. Is that the way it must have sounded at "the beginning"?

Absolutely. This is probably the closest we can get to what it sounded like at the time of Moshe Avinu and before the last exile.
