YĪN YĪN *live

In the organizer's words:

YĪN YĪN (Glitterbeat/ Bongo Joe/BE) *live*

Yīn Yīn: Psychedelic disco, global funk, electronica and tribal experiments.

Ever since Yīn Yīn came into existence, world music has had a new foundation. The band from Maastricht picks up musical threads from all over the world and puts them at the service of the dance floor. Asian psych-pop meets disco, tropicalia nestles up to snappy funk, surrounded by electronic elements.

As passionate record and music collectors, the musicians draw on an extensive collection from almost all eras and genres to create a harmonious patchwork aesthetic. The band often uses traditional Asian melodies and instruments lesser known in Europe, such as the Thai phin guitar or the traditional Chinese string instrument guzheng, to combine it all with modern grooves and a hypnotic, repetitive sound.

Their approach produced the Thai psych-rock influenced album "The Rabbit that Hunts Tigers" in 2019, followed by the more spiritual "The Age of Aquarius" in 2022. Their latest album "Mount Matsu" is characterized by both cosmic sound waves and the earthly music culture of Japan and is somewhere between these two albums.

The band's predominantly instrumental sound is based on pentatonic scales and is characterized by large leaps between notes and melodies that transport us to Far Eastern realms Yīn Yīn are nostalgic and futuristic at the same time, their music creates a trance-like state and is full of unusual harmonies and captivating beats. Don't miss.
