About Yagull
Yagull is a New York piano& guitar duet featuring a pair of composers, Sasha Markovic, guitarist and pianist extraordinaire, Kana Kamitsubo. Coming from different musical backgrounds, yet with the same organic approach to music, the duo creates a unique melodic cinematic music blend. Kana comes from classical and jazz, while Sasha is heavily influenced by many variations of 70s rock, blues, and world music. Their music received hundreds of reviews from around the globe from music publications specializing in wide spectrum of genres, from jazz, classical to rock, prog, and even metal (Time Out New York, All About Jazz, Classical Music). A journalist once labeled the music of Yagull saying, “Post-rock chamber music, probably inspired by duo's unique acoustic renditions of 70s rock classics by Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Cream, Free”.
A legendary “Echoes” radio did a comprehensive feature on Yagull, sharing their story and musical roots. Yagull was also featured in Echoes’ famous Living Room Concert Series (NPR). Kana and Sasha compose for film and television and together created an extensive catalog of organic, acoustic, cinematic works.
Yagull performed to sold out audiences in Japan, Europe and New York including the concert at National Museum of Serbia which was featured in the Serbia’s national Broadcast CRS.
Furthermore, Yagull was invited to perform as special musical guests in the United Nations events including People’s Forum, United Nation's 75th Anniversary event in May 2020 and Global Governance Forum in September 2020.
