Reclaiming Identity
Reclaiming Heritage through Music: Evyatar and David Said
Brothers Evyatar and David Said are musicians with a strong connection to their Yemenite heritage. Having a close relationship with their grandmother throughout their childhood, they feel a responsibility to reclaim the Yemenite pride and heritage. Here they discuss prejudice and pride with Drora.
By day Evyatar is a data analyst for a medical company. But in the evenings he is a performer, dancer, choreographer, event planner, and musician with a focus on Yemenite culture. He uses music and dance to relay messages of belonging and past.
David is a student of classical music who shares the responsibility of reclaiming their Yemenite heritage and sharing it with the world.
