Yo Toco

“Yo toco” means “I play” in Spanish—and for Yo Toco, playing is a form of communication. Vocalist Sara Decker, guitarist David Minguillón and drummer and percussionist Jeroen Truyen met while studying at the Conservatorium Maastricht. With bassist David Andrés, the core trio becomes a quartet.

Latin jazz and Brazilian music are their shared starting point. The band’s own voice emerges in the interplay: rhythmic detail, melodic ideas and the freedom of improvisation. Years of performing and a musical friendship give this independent project its close-knit sound. Yo Toco is currently preparing the release of its debut album, Saudades.
