A trio of guitarists accompanied by a percussionist, Yapa's first musical direction was jazz and blues. After Chronique d'Endoo, self-produced in 2006, and Can I Talk to You, recorded live during a Balkan tour in 2008, Yapa released Pariwaga in 2010. The fruit of musical encounters in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Pariwaga smells of desert blues.
