about

“Yita” meaning (Deep Water) is a tribute to the migrants dying in the Mediterranean seas, victims of human trafficking, and slave trades around the world. “Yita” affirms Fely’s ability to express her voice to address social jucetice through her music. The sound of the album is steep in her African traditions with urban influences, such as Jazz, Afro Pop and more. In this album, Fely wants to convay a message of hope, peace, love, and happiness. It is a master piece, through which she has proven herself with an incredible ability to balance between traditional rhythms and modern sounds. Wether singing in her native Gouro language, Beté, in French or English Fely’s message and music is universal. Recorded at Jerry Martin Music Studio, with the participation of incredible musicians such as Jeff Simons on guitar in the songs titled “Tile Tete” and “Do Afe”, Abou Diarrassouba on Drums and Percussion on all of the songs exept for “Cawe Yoko” and “Blamer les Autres” where the drums and percussion was performed by Jon Kidd. Tim Hager played Rockn’ Roll guitar on Cawe Yoko. Recording sound engineer, studio productions and mixing by Jerry Martin. “Yita” features boisterous, spirited infectious tunes of Fely’s swooping lead vocal. Featuring dynamic hip-swiveling pulse from traditional acoustic to Afro-pop. Each lyrics on the album has been writen by Fely Tchaco, with different colors, and an amazing variety in rhythms and styles of music. A sound to which everybody can relate to. The more you listen, the more you enjoy. This album is made possible through the generosity of the San Francisco Arts Commission Grant Program for Individual Artists.
