Mama Yeva believe in the urgent need to change and are playing music for revolutionary awareness exploring different modes of music, flamenco, Latin African, Indian Arabic music. The melting pot of our music is the experience of a harmonious blending and dancing of cultures. In a world where our concept of the other has been at the heart of conflict Mama Yeva seeks to explore the universal aspects of our collective psyche and create peace through these dialogues
We are as a group deeply aware of the potential of music to transform our state of mind and being. That through musical expression we can connect in solidarity to a deep source of inspiration and creativity. Our lyrics focus consequently on our relationship to each other and to our natural environments that surround us.
