Israeli hip-hop violinist Miri Ben-Ari has enjoyed collaborations with some of the top rappers, winning a Grammy award in 2005 for co-writing Kanya West's Jesus Talks.

Now she appears on three tracks of Theophilus London's new album Vibes, released this week, which West has produced.

The classically-trained violinist is the founder of a charity, Gedenk, "Remember" in Yiddish, which uses culture to promote tolerance among young people.
