Yanti’s jazzy tenor style voice lends nicely to Jazz Standards of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s in many different grouping and for many different occasions.  She also wailes at the Blues!  Her karaoke parties are always a night to remember and she’s always learning up a song for some event or another.  Yanti has performed at many local stages, eateries, wineries, and retirement homes.  She also performs for private parties, weddings and other special occasions.

SOUTH OKANAGAN BIG BAND

On a few very special occasions, Yanti has the opportunity to sing with the South Okanagan Big Band.  Formed as a not-for-profit group in 2011 by Richard de Jonge and a small group of fellow music enthusiasts, the South Okanagan Big Band (SOBB) is still a fairly young band.  What brings them together each week is the joy of playing those old swinging tunes of the 1930’s and 40’s made popular during the Big Band Era, plus some choice diverse tunes that have come along since!  The band currently makes their home at the Martin Street Art & Music Gallery in Penticton BC, practicing there weekly and playing for events on a fairly regular basis.  For more details about SOBB, check out www.sobb.ca.
