Got No Jeep and My Camel Died

A biography of world music master Yair Dalal

Like the historical “Perfume Road”, it is a musical journey of Yair Dalal - from the Persian Golf to Jaffa, from antiquity to modern times, from playing with Bedouins in the desert to nomination of the BBC World-Music Award.

Inspired by his music Masters-ancestors from Iraq-Babylon he vows to carry on their vanishing legacy. A native “Middle-Eastern Israeli”, Yair struggles for recognition in his roots and convictions by establishing his music school so to realize a social-cultural bridge between East and West.
