Yakari started in 2007 from the meeting of two cousins, Ricardo (guitar/vocals)
and Sebastião (drums). In 2011, new bassist João joins the band as they head
to the studio and hit the road.
As part of the 'Deaf Cure' label, they do some gigs in Portugal and
record a few tracks.
In 2013, they release' Um Tudo Nada Por Acaso their first EP,
by Contentor Records (an independent label), with a new drummer, Hugo.
Their sound is somewhat of a 'pop-rock' dissolved in a strong funk, soul,
jazz and reggae mix, influenced by lots of musical genres and artistic views
from all over the world. Most of the songs have Portuguese lyrics,
though they play some english-sung originals like 'Just For Tonight' or 'Cool Kids'.
The lyrics talk about daily subjects, confronting different points of view
and questioning the little things that make life so grand.
