Having fun, looking fine and playing lot of violin! Check out Miri Ben-Ari's violin solo at 1:30, she gets down!!! Miri uses the phrase "Dim The Lights" every time she finds herself in awkward and funny situations. Miri Ben-Ari would like to thank everyone who supported this video and especially director Eyal B, manager Josue Sejour, stylist Harold Melvin, Ohad Ben-Ari, make-up and hair artist Shimon Ben-Harus and the "Dim The Lights" cast: Omri, Eimos, and Milo the dog!
Miri is originally from Israel although some people think she is from Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Peru, Santo Domingo or even Mexico!
She likes to consider herself "a global citizen" because music is for all!
