January 2024 kicked off with a bang, spotlighting Yahli Ambus, a name that's become synonymous with the rhythmic heartbeat of Israel's music scene. Ambus isn't just a drummer; she's a musical maestro, producing, and writing tracks that have defined the contemporary landscape of hip hop, funk, and rhythm and blues in the country.

Her solo show at Levontin 7 wasn't just a performance; it was a declaration of her prowess, blending seamlessly into her roles leading the Yahli Ambus Trio and electrifying audiences with the Lucille Crew, Omer Yefet, Shaked Miller, and UV. But Ambus doesn't stop there; her musical direction for the Betzel HaHalom Musical and the Mekorok Ensembles, not to mention her collaboration with Eliad, showcases a versatility and depth that few can match.

This drumming dynamo has been highlighted, and is known to set stages on fire at Israel's most notable music venues and festivals, including the Queenta Festival, Akko Festival, and the Israel Tattoo Convention. From the dramatic flair of Dramarket Festival to the iconic stages of Levontin 7 Festival, Hangar 11, Reading 3, and Barby, Ambus's beats resonate, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and souls of her audience.



Ambus has not gone unnoticed by the world's leading drum companies, with Ludwig Drums, Meinl Cymbals, and Vater Drumsticks vying for the honor of her endorsement, a testament to her standing as one of the most pivotal figures in Israel's music industry today.

The tracks she's, produced, or written, like "Ashan," "Ein Dereh Hazara," and "Best of this World," among others, are not just songs; they're anthems that capture the essence of Israel's diverse musical heritage, each beat and note a testament to Ambus's signature sound.

While some might argue her style leans heavily on traditional funk and R&B influences, perhaps overshadowing the burgeoning hip hop scene, this slight nod to the past does little to diminish her innovative contributions to groove based music. Yahli Ambus is not just a drummer; she is a trailblazer whose rhythms resonate across generations and have garnered love from many.
