We asked if YolanDa could tell us what we can be surprised by during her tour. She had this to say …

“It’s a musical journey. I’m playing saxophone which is based in Jazz. But, we are pulling on genres of Reggae and Soul also. We want to create this evening of music, which conquers all the different areas of love. Be it Romance, Be it an appreciation of something, and others. So, we cover all the feelings and genres with songs that you may know and some new music I wrote myself”.

We then asked: Are there any songs we might recognise from tonight’s concert? …

“Well, of course. In the genre of Reggae who else to pull from but Bob Marley. He is my favourite artist. I was SO honoured to be joined by his son Julian Marley in concert, at Hackney Empire. One of my songs is, Waiting in Vain”. — Says YoldanDa.
