It was also a viral hit throughout the Arabic-speaking world. Even Pitbull got into the act, featuring on a remix of the song. A-WA is led by a trio of sisters from a Yemeni Jewish family who sing in Arabic and English. Their most recent album <em>Bayti Fi Rasi</em>, is Yemenite traditional music mixed with hip-hop, reggae, and electronic music is called and they’re here to play some of it for us, in-studio. <em>- John Schaefer</em></p> <p><em> </em></p>
