You Can Hear It Your Own Way is a sonic voyage through languages, cultures and imagination blending traditions, styles, and musical instruments from Yemen, Morocco, Israel, and the wider Arab and Western worlds.
This groundbreaking new alternative world pop album aims to celebrate artistic collaboration while modelling the richness of difference. Each track opens a doorway to a new place, weaving together an immersive, moving, genre-defying journey.
At its heart, this album carries a narrative of love and hope in our dizzy, spinning world. In a time marked by noise, distraction, and disconnection, You Can Hear It Your Own Way reminds us all that music can be a unifying force - not only a sound, but a place where emotion, not language, prevails.

Under the blazing sun, the hot sand invites your feet to dance to imaginative, original tunes, recreating the music that may have emerged from the Land of Canaan many years ago.
Canaanite groove burst onto Israel’s music scene at the World Jazz Festival in Tel Aviv in 2006. With an enchanting blend of African, Yemenite, Ladino, Balkan, and Middle Eastern sounds, coupled with sophisticated and talented musicians, Canaanite Groove offers a complete experience.
The song "Hashayara" was featured on an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles.
