Yelli Yelli - Yemma (From debut EP - out now) by Beating Drum Records published on 2015-04-15T13:25:38Z Debut EP out on May 4th via Beating Drum / Tsunami-Addiction Out now: iTunes: http://smarturl.it/yelliyelli_ep Label shop : http://shop.beatingdrumrecords.com/ When Yelli Yelli was a young girl, her mother would often play her recordings of traditional Kabyle music. The songs seemed so mysterious, sung as they were, in a language that she couldn’t understand. But the music captivated her child-like imagination, bound together in a twin dance of melody and rhythm, the songs seemed to bring the voice of a whole people to her ear, planting a seed in her that would later bring her to explore the musical and cultural trace of her own origins. The years passed and the child grew up but she never forgot the voices of Kabylie that her mother had played her. Having recorded two Folk albums under the name of Milkymee and looking for new musical routes to take, she met songwriter and producer Piers Faccini and decided to delve, with his guidance, into the secret sounds of her childhood memories. And lo and behold, the branch bore fruit and out sprung the true voice of the child her grandfather used to call, Yelli Yelli or “young girl” in Kabyle. - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://yelliyelli.com/ https://www.facebook.com/yelliyellimusic Genre Yelli Yelli
