What language is that?

 

[JMK]

And when did Yutaka get that name, LOL? He used to be Yutaka Yokokura. I can't believe there's another Yutaka out there.....

 

[Rudy]

What language is that?

Pretty sure it's Italian. The lineup listing is from the Vitoria jazz festival. Interesting to see the translation! Gotta give them credit for spelling "Mendes" correctly too...

 

[Mike]

When did Dawn Bishop, become Dawn Bishop-Woullard?

Regards,
Mike

Yeah....too bad Cortnee blew it on "Sergio" and "Mendes."

That sure doesn't LOOK like Italian....

Yes, it's the same Yutaka - when he stopped recording, he started using his middle name (Carlos) as his first and his mother's family name, Del Rosario - the Filipino side of the family.

And as far as I'm concerned, Gracinha and Dawn are both plenty 'ahotsa' in any language.

Dear Forum friends,

Now this ‘name mystery’ is finally solved.

When Sergio Mendes introduced his band members last 15th. of July 2006 at the North Sea Jazz Festival, and mentioned keyboards from Los Angeles Mr. del Rosario, I thought this was an new unknow keyboard player.

I didn’t recognized Ytaka ‘Carlos Y.del Rosario’ Yokokura at the concert.
I saw some pictures of him where he looks thinner and different hairstyle on the interesting website from Airto Moreira.

So, Ytaka ‘Carlos Y.del Rosario’ Yokokura is back in Sergio’s band where he played iat the end of the ‘80s and at the beginning of the ’90s along with singers Kevyn Lettau, Carol Rogers, Gracinha, Vinnie d’Onofrio (the Movie star) and Dori Caymmi on guitars, with Jamie East on bass and Chalo Eduardo on percussion an Michael Shapiro on drums.

Ytaka is now busy with in recording at his own recording studio VISUAL RHYTHM, Alhambra, Los Angeles. CA.

In the liner notes from Oscar Castro Neves new Wonderful record
‘All One ‘which was recorded amongst others studios at VISUAL RHYTHM and mixed at VISUAL RHYTHM there’s a thank note from Oscar to Carlos Y. del Rosario and Geoff Gilette (former tour and recording engineer for Sergio Mendes).

Carlos Y. del Rosario and Geoff Gilette recorded this album and were assisted by Milton Guttierrez.

I didn’t knew that Ytaka ‘Carlos Y.del Rosario’ Yokokura was half Japanese and half Philipine.

All the best,
Aqua do Brasil

knowing it's a stretch making the "Petty" to "Heartbereaker" joke...

You think this is petty? Try the TJB Board.

The listing of the current lineup for Sergio Mendes is written in Basque, the language of Euskaria, the region of Spain (and France) that is home to the Basque people. The musicians' names are taken from a festival in Vitoria. On a map this will be in Spain. However, in Spain, this will be considered Euskaria.
