New recording of the band BraAgas bears a title which characterizes the entire album.  The exclamation Yallah! is commonly used in all Arabic speaking countries as a booster or incentive such as “Come on!”, “Let’s move it!”. The band again claims allegiance to Sephardic songs which form the majority on the album, but not only to them – the listener will travel through entire Mediterranean region – from Spain through Balkans all the way to Turkey. The album Yallah! is the fifth recording of BraAgas in seven years of their existence and the band presents here traditional European songs in their own arrangements. The band which is formed in four fifths by ladies won the Anděl Award nomination for the previous album Fuerte (2012) in the category of World Music and for the album Tapas (2009) they won. Yallah! follows the previous albums, this time with less electronic music which was replaced with energy, outstanding instrumentation and upbeat arrangements.
