Yokandesh - Viva Como Queira

original artwork by Ket Golosov

Mixgalaxy goes exotic this summer. Another one experimental step in our journey. We’re gonna present you our first LP release by overseas artist Yokandesh. He was born in Brazil town Belo Horizonte but raised in Lima (Peru), Quito (Ecuador) and Vitoria (Brazil). The moment of truth happened in Germany where Yokandesh decided to become a music maker.

And the result is ‘Viva Como Quiera’ (Live as You Want to), top quality Brazilian Pop album mixed with Samba, Rock, Baião, Jazz and other elements from many genres. The album shows how versatile pop can be, having as many as five completely different rythms and still maintaining an identity. 1000 physical copies have been sold in Brazil since January 2010. These songs are about travelling, love and freedom. A perfect album for the summer.
