Yayaz formed in Luanda around 2010, with Big Nelo as the singer and songwriter. Their music pulls from Kizomba, Afrobeats, and R&B, though it took a couple of years for that mix to find its footing. The song 'Cunfia Na Mi' came out in 2012 and became their breakout track.
That song's success brought some attention, along with scattered criticism about its themes. The band kept working, releasing albums like 'Beija-Flor' in 2014 and 'Duplo Sentido' in 2016. Other members have included Totó ST, Rey Webba, Lil Saint, and Track.
They put out another album called 'Resiliência' in 2018. Their catalog also includes the track 'Manti Big'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
