„Ikamani“ – in the language of the Dakota-Indians it means „the one who walks beside you“.

Since 2014 Ronnie Waldmann and Dekel Terry from Israel and Samirah Al-Amrie from Germany are walking together in a path of creation, music, dance, joy and love. The three artists met in the desert of Israel during an artist Festival in march 2014 and founded this life Project “IKAMANI”. Since then they are continuing their creation though having 3600 km in between.

The trio share deep connection: their spirits meet through their passion to music and dance, through their souls, and also through their roots – all three share Yemenite ancestries.
Since the beginning they realized that this connection they feel on stage is special, and that the audience can feel it, too.

This give deep magic to this Trio: There is the gracious and electrifying dance of Ronnie Waldmann, the beautiful and deep touching voice of Samirah Al-Amrie, the powerful, strong and in the same time soft and delighting play of Dekel Terry and one unique, heavenly Instrument: the Handpan.

Through their art they are touching the hearts and souls of whoever is watching and listening.

The newspapers write:

„Samirah Al-Amrie (vocals, handpan), Ronnie Waldmann (dance, percussion) and Dekel Terry (guitar) know no bouderies neither spatially nor stylistically. Their songs are as cosmopolitan as they are. Their worldmusic opens up the world to this trio.“

„The Trio received rupturus applause from the opening pieces to the end of the program leaving the audience demanding more. There seem to be no boundaries for Ikamani.“
