Amit Benita

Amit Benita is a music educator, the founder of Music-Flows (an online intuitive music school), and a composer, producer and recording artist with over 1.18 million streams across releases on international labels in Berlin, Italy and Nashville. 

Amit is deeply passionate about languages and cultures. He is fluent in Hebrew, English and Spanish, and speaks some Lingala, Amharic and Fang. For three years he lived across Africa — learning music from, and making music with, African musicians and the communities that hosted him. That period shaped a conviction he has carried into every project since: the most powerful music carries the language and cultural memory of the people who make it, and an outsider's job is to listen, support, and amplify rather than direct. 

Amit's practice has always crossed traditions. His A-Z Project album with Amir Paiss blends African, Latin American and Hebrew musical lineages on a single record. Music-Flows — his online intuitive music school — and its annual Bloom Retreat bring students from across the world together to study music as a shared language, and to use music as a tool for connection, healing, and emotional expression. 

Through Envirotech, Amit was introduced to the Meriam Mir language revival project, and to the conviction that music is one of the most effective vehicles for intergenerational language transmission. He joins the board to support the community's work — not to lead it. 

What Amit brings to the Miriam Board: 

✅ Years of experience teaching music in cross-cultural settings 

✅ A pedagogical approach that uses music as a tool for healing, connection and emotional expression 

✅ Music-Flows course infrastructure — an online platform that can carry teaching content where and when the community finds it useful 

✅ An open heart, an open mind, and a genuine desire to help and to learn alongside the Meriam community 

His mission is clear: Meriam Mir belongs to the Meriam community. The board's job is to put resources, platforms and capability behind that community's work — not in front of it. 

"A song is one of the strongest containers a culture has for itself." — Amit Benita
