Biography
Ben Ari was born in Afula, Israel, to a family of Mizrahi Jewish background. He first discovered music as a child through the traditional Jewish and ethnic chants that were part of his everyday life. He started playing music at the age of 16 and has since studied music around the world, including in India, the Sahara, and the Sinai. He plays various string instruments including acoustic and classic guitar, Indian sarod, Persian tar, Turkish cümbüş, Moroccan sintir, and bass.

In 1997, together with a few friends, he founded the world music ensemble Sheva (, Seven). The band members come from Muslim and Jewish backgrounds and the main theme in their songs is the call for peace in the Middle East and around the world. Their first album, Ha ,K hatunah HaShmeemeet (, "Heavenly Wedding" or "Celestial Marriage") featured the hit song Salaam ("", from Arabic: سلام), also known as ′Od Yavoh′ Shalom ′Alaynu ("" lit. "Still, it will come, Peace upon us"). The band has released four studio albums and one live album.

In 2001, Ben-Ari's debut solo album, Ad Elay ("", "Unto me"), came out. In 2004, he released his second album, Derekh ("", "Way" or "Path"). This album quickly went Gold in Israel. In 2006, Ben-Ari's third album, Masa UMatan ("Negotiations" lit. "Journey and Provision" ""), was released.

All of Ben-Ari's albums have been produced by Globalev World Music, in Israel. His music is a blend of rock, soul, reggae, and world music.

Ben-Ari was featured in Central Park's Summerstage Tour on 29 June 2008.
