The petite singer, whose mother is from Yemen and father comes from Vienna, had the crowd under control after five minutes: misty, sexy voice in the middle layers, clear in the upper layers - in addition effectively styled gestures and the smile of the Mona Lisa [...]

Nothing about this fusion seems fake, even older Jewish concert visitors sense it as a poignant interpretation of their Lord's Prayer.
