Saïda סעידה سعيدة
BALKAN I MIDDLE EAST
Saïda (סעידה سعيدة) is the music duo by Yemima & Jonathan Ataria, both multi-instrumentalists, blending Balkan, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern music. Their music breathes life into folklore and classical traditions, harmonizing past and present.
"Saïda" means "happy" or "lucky girl" in Arabic, reflecting joy and good fortune. It is also a tribute to Yemima's great-grandmother from her Yemenite heritage.

MUSIC: YEMIMA
DANCER-CHOREOGRAPHER: BRIANNA LOPEZ
The music video, directed by music producer Shay Moshe, highlights the contrast between the desert landscape and urban, industrial reality. Filmed in a cozy yet industrial pink room in South Tel Aviv, it features modern American choreographer Brianna Lopez, whose powerful movements follow Yemima's newly composed musical narrative.
