炭坑節 tanko bushi is an old Japanese folk song, re-arranged by Q2A (2018)

Q2A - Tanko bushi 炭坑節

“Yeshuato” is actually one of the first addictive grooves of Quarter to Africa, written in their musical journey in South India of 2014 . there. On the top of the mountain in Hampi, they shoot their first video, that was a jam of “yeshuato” in its early stages, but full of love for the world, for the music  and very attached to the roots.

When they returned to Israel, the song became an integral part of every performance and was much loved by the audience.
In 2016, a live version was filmed in a circle performance (360. When the crowd is around the band) with the legendary bass player Avishay Cohen. The clip received many views on social media, comments from all over the world, and even received cover versions by artists from Israel and abroad.

So after several live versions and a worldwide journey - the song was finally recorded at Q2A studio in old Jaffa. Where it started, traveled around the world, played in huge festivals, and now returned to Jaffa to complete the journey.

“Yeshuato” is the fifth single from a series of new singles for their new album released in 2020,
In continuation of their successful album which released 2017 which received physical distribution in Europe and Japan.
