Yissy

Cuban percussionist Yissy is taking the jazz world by storm. Her music fuses original compositions with electronic beats and pairs traditional instrumentation with the compliments of a stellar DJ. Her take on jazz, R&B, soul and funk transports the listener from musical simplicity to complex harmonies and rhythms, all while expressing a deep Cubanness. Among the main influences that define Yissy’s music are jazz greats Herbie Hancock, Roy Hargrove and Jojo Mayer. Joining Yissy are Jorge Aragón (piano), Julio César González (bass), Julio Rigal(trumpet) and el Jigüe (DJ).
