YK Band are set to perform at the 2022 World Music Festival @ Taiwan on October 16, 2022, Sunday, 4PM – 4:30PM (GMT+8).
This combo of Yerko Lorca from Spain and Kuan Yin from Taiwan creates music with three ancient instruments (the West African kora, Tartessian lyre, and Mediterranean tar drum) and their voices in a way that awakens the boundlessness of the imagination. The duo released an album titled Árcaron－Under Twin Moons: The Rise of a Myth.
In 2019, they won gold medals at the Global Music Awards (Best of the Show, Best Composer, Album of the Year, Best Producer, and Best Art/Graphics); were nominated for Best Crossover/World Album and Best Crossover/World Song at the Golden Indie Music Awards; and made it onto the Transglobal World Music Chart, a major chart in world music.
This year, they will blend the therapy of yoga with audial, visual, and tactile elements in bringing listeners on a cleansing journey of immersion into twilight through their ancient music.
