About

Vocalist Yuko Yokoi closes the UK tour of her debut album ‘Verde’ at The Lescar, with music that’s both playful and minimalist in style, influenced strongly by Brasilian music and contemporary jazz, as well as by the Japanese philosophy ‘wabi sabi’ (the pursuit of embracing both the imperfection and transience of life). With interpretations of compositions by Brazilian legends like Hermeto Pascoal, Egberto Gismonti and Ivan Lins, as well as some of her own co-written originals, she’s joined by a first class band.
