Yangos is a quartet of instrumental music formed in 2005. Composed by musicians César Casara, Cristiano Klein, Rafael Scopel and Tomás Savaris, it has a strong influence of contemporary Latin American and regional music. The quartet is known for spreading regional Gaucho music in a contemporary way.
Established in the Serra Gaúcha in South of Brazil, it brought instrumental music from Rio Grande do Sul to all of Brazil and also to Latin America through live shows and TV programs.[1]
In Brazil, Yangos has already released five albuns in CD and one in DVD: Tangos y Milongas (2009), À Pampas (2013), Pampa: Pátria de Todos (2016), recorded in partnership with Argentine singer Dante Ramon Ledesma,[2][3] Chamamé (2017) and Brasil Sim Senhor (2018).
The album Chamamé was nominated in the category Best Album of Roots Music at Latin Grammy Award 2017[4] in Las Vegas, United States. Also in 2018, was selected for FIMPRO-2018[5] in Guadalajara, Mexico, one of the biggest music fairs in Latin America.
The actual work Brasil Sim Senhor was released by the label Natura Musical: Brasil, Sim Senhor!. The Album reflects the band experience playing in several stages throughout the country and in nations of America. It is a result of the mixture of sounds coming from southern Brazil, from the heat of a tropical country and from the cultural plurality acquired in international experiences.
Among the influences of the Yangos Instrumental Quartet, one can cite as main Astor Piazzolla with the new tango, Richard Galliano changing the French traditional music to the new musette, Lucio Yanel who introduced Chamamé in Rio Grande do Sul, Raul Barboza and Nini Flores who plays the Chamamé to the whole world.
