Yazmin and Beat Zero

Jazz88's Peter Solomon speaks with singer, composer, and songwriter Yazmin from the band Yazmin and Beat Zero. As a teenager in rural Wisconsin, Yazmin fell in love with the sounds of Cuba, and and as an adult she spent a few years studying dance and music there. Her band is a fusion of her original songwriting, classical, jazz, funk, and Afro-Cuban sounds. On Saturday, November 22nd, Yazmin and Beat Zero will play the Parkway Theater in a shared billing with Mama Digdown's Brass Band. The Havana String Quartet will join them onstage for that event.
