We chat with Yasser Tejeda, an award-winning Dominican composer, guitarist, vocalist, and producer. We talk about Dominican roots music and how music can connect us to our Afro Dominican heritage.
Yasser Tejeda is an award-winning Dominican composer, guitarist, vocalist, and producer. According to Billboard, Yasser is giving traditional folkloric music a new spin with jazz, rock, and Caribbean rhythms in "a frenzied celebration of the ancestral union" while Juan Luis Guerra, the most influential Dominican artist in the world, praised his mission calling it the "marvelous example of what's happening with Dominican music.
When it comes to his music, the main focus has been to uplift and promote his Afro Dominican roots.
