Yogi Daïdaï is the story of two musicians who on their paths came across Vietnam and Korea.

After diving into the traditional repertoire they are now wandering where sound is taking them, mixing originals with old folk songs.

Yogi Daïdaï

What happens if you mix up Bashô’s haïkus with traditional Chầu Văn, while playing a Cumbia on Korean percussions?

What happens when a blues with Northern African influences meets a Vietnamese two-stringed guitar and a Korean Pansori song?

Not that these questions needed an answer, but it just happened. The only rule Yogi Daïdaï goes by is to sing.
