Rodrigo: A Life In Music
Following Julyssa and Amy, I’ve decided to give this a shot. It wasn’t an easy task, but it’s always fun to do these lists.
Lisah Halling – Stockholm, Sweden 2011
Lisah Halling and her band did a small concert at Soutside Pub in Stockholm on May 4th. A very small venue that quickly got filled to the brink. As always, Lisah Halling got the crowd jumping, singing along and asking for more.
YAM Loves: Eddie
We’re rolling out a new feature here on YAM – the YAM Loves series. And I’m happy to say that the first of these features is on Korean-American R&B singer, Eddie.
Strokes, The – Angles
Not only does Angles have the feel of their first album, but it also has the same vibe Julian Casablancas’ solo album featured, as well as new wave synth-pop, and even bossa chords on a couple of songs.
Latin Wave in Asia
A list of songs by Asian musicians with some Latin flavor, some have decided to give songs their own spin, some others have done lyrics in their own language, and others are giving the language a spin.
YAM – Issue 012
Our latest and last issue as a PDF. This marks a new beginning for us, and marks the actual 2-month countdown for the opening of yam-mag.com.

Isaac Delgado – L.O.V.E.
Never understood cover tribute albums, but Isaac Delgado’s tribute to Nat King Cole en Español gives more than a playful re-imagining of the songs in Spanish. It’s got Latin Jazz soul.

Princess and the Frog, The
The Princess and the Frog, Disney’s return to classic 2D animation, takes on the well-known story of the princess who kisses the frog, who in turn magically transforms back into a prince… and gives it a little spin. And it’s obvious that the princess, who isn’t really a princess, turns into a frog instead.
