Yael Tai is an Israeli singer and a vocal artist living in Jerusalem.

Yael works in a variety of styles and languages. She performs Yemenite traditional music, Hungarian folk music, medieval songs and Afro-American music. She has set to music a variety of poems and prayers in Hebrew. In all her work she has sought to make an association between Wester and Eastern music. This is in part a reflection of her own background, her father was a well-known Hungarian musician while her mother is a Yemenite.

A feature of her work has been a growing emphasis on improvisation in her own “intuitive” language. She makes use of this approach both in performance and in her teaching. The latter is designed to explore the relationship between sound and its effect on the physical and emotional body, causing increased awareness of the true “self” and assisting with both musical and personal development.
