Yanni fans will be glad to hear that the popular musician is releasing a new CD this week with a bit of a surprise musical twist to it, titled "Yanni Voices".
A couple of years ago, at the peak of his success, the performer took a hiatus for a short while to become a mentor and producer for four up-and-coming talented musicians.
With GRAMMY and Academy Award-winning producer Ric Wake at his side at "Camp Yanni" (Yanni's Florida studio complex), the dynamic musical duo produced a handful of tunes for pop vocalists Nathan Pacheco, Chloe, Ender Thomas, and Leslie Mills.
According to my contacts at the record company, Yanni encouraged his four protégés to write lyrics for the melodies that moved them most.
Word of mouth is that the gamble paid off.
The fruitful partnership has resulted in an upcoming PBS concert TV special, two CD releases (English and Latin) and a U.S. Tour.
"YANNI VOICES: LIVE FROM THE FORUM IN ACAPULCO" marks the musician's triumphant return to the stage and will feature show-stopping vocal performances by the four “Voices”.
On March 24, Yanni’s non-instrumental only album (YANNI VOCES) will be released which - in addition to the four “Voices” - will also feature Latin guest stars Jose Jose, Cristian Castro, Olga Tanon and Jose Feliciano to name a few.
And, on April 10, Yanni will kick-off his return with his first U.S. tour in four years.
The tour will feature many of Yanni’s most popular fan favorites accompanied by an explosion of dynamic visuals, dazzling choreography and show-stopping vocal performances by the four “Voices.”
The tour will also feature Yanni’s acclaimed orchestra comprised of musicians from around the globe.
Welcome back, Yanni.
The fans missed 'ya!
