Yuko Yokoi Band

Yuko Yokoi Band brings the sophisticated yet warm sound of Brazil with a twist of jazz. The singer, Yuko shares her absolute love of Brazilian jazz music. Full of improvisation, light and colour, her delightful interpretations are exquisitely individual. Her minimalistic approach to the music is entirely unique.
