"I believe that music is truly an international language with no frontiers and it is

this philosophy that is at the heart of Yampapaya tribes music and live performances.
Born in Tokyo Japan I have lived in Hawaii, Micronesia, California, Colorado,

Hong kong, Beijing, Austria and Italy. The multi ethnic band YAMPAPAYA TRIBE

has toured in three continents playing styles including African music, Rock, Reggae,

funk and Acoustic folk with Hawaiian influences reflecting my life experience around the globe.
Over the years my style has been influenced by music and rhythms from the

African continent in particular the Congo mixed with rock, rhythm and blues that are

a large part of my American musical culture. I haves also worked with many musicians

from around the world expanding theYampapayaTribes world music quality. ALOHA : ")David
