Everyone lives their personal experience in their own way”.
The launch (last December) of his new project of Tamango Xpress represents a bold step forward, expanding the label’s sonic palette and embracing a new wave of gritty, raw, and dancefloor-oriented music. Through this sister label, YAYA continues to push boundaries and foster innovation in electronic music.
“Tamango Xpress was something that I’ve had in mind for quite a while, and I’m super excited that Tamango’s sister label finally saw the light at the end of last year. There are many artists whose works I love and play, but sometimes I feel that their tracks don’t 100% fit with the “Tamango” sound.
For this reason, I’ve opened a new spot for more gritty, raw, and dancefloor-oriented music. The concept is simple: music “express” and ready to go.
Not much talk is needed for these groovy rollers. The response has been amazing so far: the second single, “Like This’’ by Freenzy’ has been one of the tracks that I played in almost every set from last year, and the results on the charts have been amazing as well. We have some serious heaters lined up for 2024 and I can’t wait to release them in the upcoming months”.
As the driving force behind Tamango Records, YAYA’s transformative vision extends beyond the confines of the studio, resonating across global dancefloors and igniting the spirits of music lovers worldwide.
For YAYA, the dream of remixing his father’s album had always been a lingering aspiration—a tribute to a musical legacy that shaped his own artistic path. Motivated by a dear friend and guided by a profound sense of gratitude, YAYA embarked on the project with reverence and humility, honoring the footsteps of his father while carving out his own sonic foot print.
Wrestling with the delicate balance of tradition and innovation, he approached every beat with meticu- lous care, mindful of the weight of familial ties and musical heritage. Yet, fueled by a relentless commit- ment to authenticity and creativity, YAYA breathed new life into the timeless melodies, infusing them with fresh energy and perspective.
“I always dreamed of remixing my father’s album, who was the percussionist and leading voice of the “M’bamina” ensemble. In this last period, also thanks to the motivation given by a good friend of mine, and after having done some sketches in the past years - I started working on it again.
I consider myself very lucky because re-working your dad’s music is something truly special that not ever- yone can do, and I am grateful to have had such a talented musician and inspiring person next to me. The project is evolving nicely, and finally, after a long time, I can finally say that it’s almost done, and it will be released soon”.
