Yemanya is a music group consisting of 2-6 musicians: a combination of the piano and violin and/or cello and/or kongo-drums and/or marimba and/or voice. A pianist, drummer, marimba player, violinist and cellist create a unique aural composition. Yemanya is the birthchild of pianist, Marleze Smit who had the idea of combining her passion for the classical piano along with violin, cello and drums. She had a desire to make classical music more accessible to everyone and to create a groovy, global, glamorous fusion with touches of African influences. French, Spanish and Argentinian melodies complemented by African rhythmic beats in a Buddha Bar-ish kind of vibe has become the niche of Yemanya’s groundbreaking sound.
