An Díaz & Yokatta Brothers
ARG/FR
An Díaz & Yokatta Brothers is a vibrant blues, gospel, and roots quartet, merging the powerhouse vocals of Argentine singer-songwriter An Díaz with the raw talent of three Northern French blues musicians inspired by the grooves of New Orleans. During her third European tour in 2018, An decided to settle in Paris, embracing a new artistic journey with Yokatta Brothers—a “musical family” whose passion radiates on stage.
Their sound pairs An’s dynamic voice with the band’s rhythmic roots in Blues, Boogie, Jazz and the thrill of Gospel and it resulted in an acclaimed debut album of original music, (Alana, 2023) and a show that features live blues dancing, concert performances, Afro-American cultural lectures, masterclasses in blues/gospel singing, and DJ sets.
Winning first prize at the Blues Challenge at the Rendez-vous de L’Erdre Festival and additional jury accolades, the band also took home the Heroes Challenge prize at the Retro C’est Trop Festival in 2023 and the Bluestracje prize at the Mississippi Blues Trail Challenge at the Cahors Blues Festival. These achievements led to tours across France, Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic and the recording of Komorebi in New Orleans.
So, what does “Yokatta” mean? In Japanese, it expresses joy or relief—a celebration of small wins and big achievements alike. Through this album, An Díaz & Yokatta Brothers hope to share with listeners a glimpse of the healing power of music that has sustained them through life’s journeys.
If this album gives you a little of what music has given us, our work is done.
