Join Yoni and his musical guests for a casual evening of Mizrahi Jewish music performed on oud, percussion, and vocals.

Yoni Avi Battat is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and composer. In his career, Yoni has been immersing himself in maqam, the musical mode system of Arab music. These efforts led to his 2022 debut album Fragments, which explores his Iraqi-Jewish identity by pairing maqam music with lyrics in Arabic, Hebrew, English, and Yiddish. His most recent project Kedmah: The Rising Song Piyyut Project, presents Jewish song and poetry from the Middle East and North Africa. Their debut album, Simu Lev, emerges on Rising Song Records in the Spring of 2024.
