Branko Presents: Enchufada Na Zona Vol. 2

Summer Nights

ASEDA is the first single from the upcoming record album of the musical genius KWAME YEBOAH who played over 17 instruments professionally by age 17.

The outstanding multi-instrumentalist, producer and inspirational music director who has worked with international greats such as Yusuf / Cat Stevens, Craig David, Stevie Wonder, Shaggy, The Maestro Kojo Antwi, and many more shares his gratitude for life, nature and love with his debut jazz release.

ASEDA means gratitude in the Akan language of Ghana, and this song is the perfect representation of that feeling and the positive attitude that resonates in the country and its
people.

The tranquil melodies of ASEDA are rich and uplifting. It is beautiful, praise-worthy music to give thanks and praise to the Almighty and the kind souls all around us. Its masterful harmonic complexity is testament to the years Kwame has taken to master his craft in humility, and his extensive experience in delighting audiences worldwide with his upbeat, joyous performances.

The song’s composition is inspired by Kwame’s dynamic life journey and his sincere gratitude for the blessings that have been showered upon him. The heady sounds of ASEDA will transport you into the mind space of gratitude, bathing your imagination in golden West African sunlight and gently welcoming you into a whole new refreshing state of being. 

Aseda is here.

The Resonance of Cross-Culture Arising from a Deep Musical Connection
The Passion Embedded in “My Love” by Nao Yoshioka and Jarreau Vandal
The collaboration between Nao Yoshioka and Jarreau Vandal under the title “My Love” is born from the deep connection between two artists united by the universal language of music. Jarreau’s uniqueness and diversity, reflecting influences from gospel, soul, jazz, to house, deeply resonate with Nao Yoshioka’s sensibilities, merging with her delicate and passionate vocal performance. Jarreau, known for his edits and remixes of hits like Rihanna’s “Work,” Dua Lipa’s “New Love,” and Mahalia’s “Sober,” plays a central role in this project as well.
This collaboration began when Nao listened to Jarreau’s album “Anthology” and took note of his musical sense. Triggered by interactions on social media, Nao was introduced to outstanding musicians by Jarreau, leading to shared deep bonds over not just music but also a strong interest in fashion, as they took turns guiding each other through the streets of Tokyo and Amsterdam. This natural exchange evolved into a joint creative effort.
“My Love” is produced by Jarreau, inspired by his expressions of love for his child, prompting Nao to write and compose the song around the theme of how love can transform life. The track features unique rhythms and percussion reminiscent of Caribbean and Afrobeat styles, overlaid with heart-stirring melodies. For Nao, this song represents an unprecedented challenge, breaking through genre barriers and pushing her musical boundaries.
“My Love” reflects the genuine rapport and mutual respect developed between the two artists through real-life interactions and music following the pandemic. This song, born from the collaboration between Nao and Jarreau, promises to convey love and vitality to its listeners, introducing a fresh breeze into the music industry.

[Bio] 
A contemporary soul singer with a powerful voice and expressive skills refined in New York, this artist blends a modern taste distinct from a laid-back style yet deeply rooted in history. Born in Japan and having moved to New York alone, Nao’s encounter with soul music led to a pivotal moment where her heart synchronized with the Sam Cooke classic, inspiring her to create music that resonates deeply with people’s emotions. Despite being Japanese, she has a soulful voice reminiscent of Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston, combined with a strength of character forged through life experiences as an outsider and overcoming adversities. Nao’s impressive live vocal performances have achieved over 3.4 million views on a now-viral YouTube video. She has performed solo at prestigious venues like Blue Note New York and London Jazz Cafe. She has participated in major festivals like the Java Jazz Festival in Asia and the Capital Jazz Fest in the USA, making a mark internationally. Nao is the first Japanese artist to reach the 32nd spot on the Billboard UAC chart. Her collaborations with veteran artists like John Batiste, Nathan East, Eric Roberson, and Mamas Gun have garnered strong support, and she’s also worked with rising artists like Devin Morrison and Blue Lab Beats. In 2024, the release of her highly anticipated 5th album and a world tour are eagerly awaited.
