A 1990s band that blended Latin rhythms with electronic dance, anchored by the international hit 'I Saw You Dancing'.
If you want to hear what they were about, start with 'I Saw You Dancing' and then try 'Just A Dream'. That's the sound.
Yaki-Da mattered because they brought Latin rhythms into the 1990s dance scene when that wasn't common. 'I Saw You Dancing' became an international hit that still gets played. Their catalog includes songs like 'Just A Dream' and 'Pride Of Africa' that kept that same energy going.
They formed in the 1990s with Charlie Villanueva on vocals and released albums like 'I Saw You Dancing' in 1996 and 'Sugarless Gum' in 1998. The band kept going into the early 2000s with 'Breakdown' in 2000 and 'Four' in 2002 before fading out.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
