Yubaba is the brazilian free-style lounge project of Frederico Drummond and Pedro Gomide, an evolving journey from dub into house, with a trip hop feeling and a jazz taste. Their show features a diverse array of live musicians mixed with analog synthesizers in a digital environment, having performing formats that range from vocalist and percussionist with lap tops, to two computers plus midi-controllers and synthesizers.

Active artists in the Brazilian chill-out and trance scenes for many years, they have appeared at several of the premiere festivals in Brazil, USA and Europe. They join their skills in this project, where they mix their cultural inﬂuences to recreate 
the eclectic and open-minded mood you could only ﬁnd in Brazil.

Their first album ,"Paradiso", was released through Cyberset Records from California. In Paradiso, they featured singers Thailan and Nathalia Faria, MC Blacklight, plus trumpet player Dan Covan; creating soulful melodies and rhythmic textures.. Following Paradiso, they have been releasing remixes and his own compositions in Austria, Ibiza & Korea.

With shows at Boom Festival (Portugal), Symbiosis Gathering (California), Universo Paralello, Festival Eletronika and the latest in front of thousands of people at Savassi Festival - Jazz & Lounge (Brazil), they continue to delight new audiences with unique combinations and groovy rhythms
