Iko YaYa

  • Ashkenaz Music & Dance Community Center 1317 San Pablo Avenue Berkeley, CA, 94702 United States (map)

Doors at 7:00pm ~ Dance Lesson at 7:30pm ~ Show at 8:00pm

Since 2013, Iko YaYa has been playing the Louisiana-influenced music that gets folks on their the feet – what they like to call “swamp ‘n roll!”

Enjoy a full plate of their favorite New Orleans- flavored dance gumbo—blues and boogie, Cajun/Zydeco, R&B, Second Line, and even a lil’ Country—all delivered with a Mardi Gras vibe!

From the East Bay, Iko YaYa’s members are also longtime veterans of some other bay area favorite dance bands, including California Cajun Orchestra, SwingThing, CZ & The Bon Vivants, The Poyntlyss Sistars, Mark St. Mary, The California Blue Runners & The Mangroves.

The band: Jim Scott – guitar, Cheryl McBride – vocals & percussion, Sam Siggins – drums & vocals, Lance Houck – bass & vocals, Andre Nigoghossian – accordion & vocals, Susan Copperman – saxophone
