Yanni

Voices is the English-language version
Voces is the Spanish-language version

Includes Duets with some of the top Latin recording artists, including: Jose Jose, Cristian Castro, Lucero, Olga Tanon, Arturo Sandoval, and Jose Feliciano

Listen again to Yanni's melodies, composed over an incomparable 30+ year career, and it becomes clear: The man’s music was meant to be sung. Revered for his sweeping symphonic pieces, intimate keyboard airs and unforgettable musical themes, Yanni long resisted having vocalists reinterpret his music with lyrics. That is, until now with his premiere Disney Pearl album, "Yanni Voces." More than two years in the making, completely in Spanish "Voces" is without question Yanni’s most ambitious project yet.

Teaming up with GRAMMY and Academy Award-winning producer Ric Wake (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Jennifer Lopez) and Cesar Lemos, Yanni picked the top Latin singers that inspired him, would connect with the music and it worked perfect. The team also took on a mentoring role for this project, discovering and producing four young singers – Nathan Pacheco, Ender Thomas, Leslie Mills and Chloe; pairing their vocal talents with his compositions, old and new.

On VOCES, Yanni and Wake effortlessly wove a mainstream sensibility with Mediterranean sensuality, Latin passion, and operatic flourishes. Add to that, Yanni's expansive arrangements and you have compositions that will appeal to a global audience. The singers then accelerated the energy beyond the composer’s wildest dreams. "I knew," says Yanni, "if we could match the melodies with the right lyrics and voices, we would be adding powerful layers beyond just the instrumental music, giving a re-birth to these compositions." He adds, "I believe that the human voice is the most powerful and expressive instrument known to man."

"Yanni Voces," it is sound of extraordinarily beautiful music.
