We wrote ”Children of Abraham” in 2008, but came together in 2024 to record it and the entire album of songs that we wrote at that earlier time. Only now, we have seen widespread vicious attacks and horrifying death in the Middle East, prompting the screams in our song, having had enough of the Children of Abraham – all in a family – at each other’s throats, making precarious much of the world.
There are no words for the sunken misery felt by the spirit of Abraham, the father of these children. The song is music for our souls, wherever our minds may be on this matter.
YoBe is a music group with Emilio Bench (composer and guitarist) and Yossef Ben-Meir (singer and lyricist). They and the YoBe live ensemble are based in Marrakech, Morocco.
YoBe’s music beat is from civilizations that bind in Morocco. It’s Bluesy-Rock, Orient-African and, we hope, life-trips inside you.
The lyrical message of ”Bound from Our Birth”, YoBe’s first album: local community is the defining power.
