Yemen Blues merges music of Yemen and West Africa while bringing an out-of-the-ordinary sound to the table. Hence resorting to the use of oud, percussion, strings and horns. Eli, Min Kalbi, Baraca and Jat Mahibathi being some of the popular tracks by then band.

The amalgamation of music is such that The New York Times referred to the band as "an Arabic pop orchestra" and a "North American trance group". Besides their unique sound, Yemen Blues have risen to fame due to their live concerts; performances at the WOMEX and BABEL MED music fairs in particular. Hence garnering instant international fame.

The band performed endlessly in 2011 all across the globe. They have also been chosen as one of the 10 International Acts to Watch by Paste magazine. Not only that they have made their presence felt at globalFEST, America's most prestigious world music festival. The band not only offers a blend of musical styles but also a mixture of different languages as Kahalani says he is "using any language that sounds good with the melody". Thus their music transcends cultural boundaries as Yemen Blues "is a language you will understand no matter where you come from."
