Yachay is a sonic two piece project born from the aural environment of the Amazon Basin. Natural and live, the music is primal and intricate, acoustic and fierce, and played by two men with a wide range of organic instrumentation. What you hear on Yachay's recordings you will experience live. Real time music, 100 percent, song after song. Yachay definitively erases any folk classifications that may be ascribed to their acoustic approach. In fact, to even call them 'acoustic' would be deceptive. Call them alternative, loud, harmonic, crazed salsa on vacation, tribal, and you will still be left wanting for definition. They sing in Spanish. They sing in English. They sing in Quechua. They groan. If Yachay can be categorized at all, it might be fair to say that they blatantly pulse and groove through the walls of musical definition.
The members of Yachay see the world as a creation of sound. Through their shamanic work in the Peruvian rain forest, they have come to know the urgency of vibrational creation. They carry the hearts of the people with them in their sonic expression. They take influence from the spirits of the undisturbed natural world, the frogs, the rain, the crickets. They sing for the world of beauty that is this planet. They sing for the Goddess. And, of course, the dolphins. They sing for the perilously close line we walk in regards to how we inhabit the world we create.
In their relentless, embracing approach, it is difficult to ignore the passion of Yachay in the musical stand they take for the condition of our world.
Yachay is pronounced 'yah chai,' and is derived from Quechua, the language of the Inkas.
