Yasser Tejeda is an award-winning Dominican composer, guitarist, vocalist, and producer. According to Billboard, Yasser is giving traditional folkloric music a new spin with jazz, rock and Caribbean rhythms in "a frenzied celebration of ancestral union" while Juan Luis Guerra, the most influential Dominican artist in the world, praised his mission calling it the "marvelous example of what's happening with Dominican music.” Yasser’s hope is to incite an awakening so new generations will be inspired to explore, promote and uplift their afro-Dominican roots as well. 

Tejeda has released two commercial albums, Kijombo (2019) and Mezclansa (2009), with his group Palotré. Mezclansa was dubbed one of the “100 essential recordings of Dominican music” by the Dominican National Association of Art Writers (Acroarte) and his second album Kijombo received six awards from Dominican Republic's Premios Indie, including Best Album.
He also released his first solo acoustic EP called Interior (2021) and just finished his third studio album which features his new single “Tú Ere’ Bonita” and it’s scheduled to be released in the summer of 2023.

Why Playlists?
Good music is meant to be listened to again and again. By having great music compiled in playlists you can always go back to those songs that you love, but you also get to listen to other great songs that go together, sharing a feeling or a theme, and creating a flow. 

In current times, where music is consumed so fast, it is nice to enjoy the old practice of creating and listening to "mixed tapes".

Enjoy!
