About
Poetic, groovy, sometimes funky, and soulful at its core, Yao, with his baritone voice, captivates audiences through the warm universe of his gentle poetry and artistic boldness.
His pictorial writing—marked by great sensitivity—recalls the lyrical richness of French rap artists like MC Solaar, Abd Al Malik, and Oxmo Puccino, blended with an eclectic pop touch, where musical worlds intertwine with the lyrical wanderings of this poet.
After numerous performances across Canada (in 10 of the 13 provinces and territories) and internationally (France, Switzerland, Belgium, Madagascar, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin, Mali), Yao and his band present a personal, vibrant, and captivating show that you’ll want to see more than once.
