With Only Love Remains, Yemen Blues delivers a genre-defying album that fuses tradition with raw emotion and contemporary sound. Founded by charismatic vocalist Ravid Kahalani, the group weaves together Yemeni roots, Afrobeat rhythms, Arabic soul, funk, blues, and jazz — creating music that is both deeply spiritual and intensely physical.
Recorded in just two powerful weeks, these 11 tracks are born from a spontaneous, collaborative studio process — an explosion of rhythm and soul shaped by each member’s unique cultural voice. The album pays tribute to late Yemeni oud master Ahmed Alshaiba, becoming a heartfelt offering of remembrance, unity, and healing.
Only Love Remains is more than an album — it’s a sonic journey across borders and identities. A celebration of love, grief, rhythm, and connection. Music that speaks to the body, heart, and spirit.
