YUMI ITO & SZYMON MIKA
2425 Yumi Ito & Szymon Mika
Vocals and guitar, as well as elements of jazz as well as pop artfully combined - that's what Japanese-Swiss-Polish duo Yumi Ito & Szymon Mika offer.
The two award-winning musicians met in Switzerland, where they worked with such greats as Dave Holland, Avishai Cohen and Steve Swallow.
Steve Swallow listened to a jam by the two musicians and suggested they form a duo.
"Ekual" is the first joint album from these brothers and sisters in spirit, acting in equal and grandiose fashion.
Thanks to the diversity of their voices and string instruments, the duo creates worlds of harmonics, chords, vocal melodies and vocal improvisations. No single element dominates.
Meanwhile, Yumi Ito & Szymon Mika have already performed all over Europe, including at the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Summer Jazz Festival Krakow.
