An Díaz & Yokatta Brothers is a blues quartet made up of a young singer from Buenos Aires with gospel roots, accompanied by 3 bluesmen from the North of France nourished by the grooves of New Orleans.
On the occasion of her 3rd European tour in 2018, the young singer decides to give up her return ticket and settle in Paris to continue playing all year round with this band! More than a band, it's a family whose pleasure of playing together radiates on stage.
Their show presents the creations of the album and covers of blues standards served by the powerful voice of the singer and supported by the energy and spontaneity of the group. It's a modern blues tribute to the origins. In 2022 they release a mixtape album from live recordings (Sunset Paris..) and live studio: SPIRAL BLUES.
On August 27, 2022, they won the first prize of the Blues challenge at the Rendez vous de L'Erdre as well as 4 special Jury prizes including the blues radio collective prize, the Blues sur Suresnes prize, the Bain de
Blues Festival, The Rives de Blues & CO prize.
In 2023 comes the release of their first studio album of original compositions by An Díaz, and his tour ALANA TOUR in major festivals of the French scene.
