Yellow Sisters:

Antonia Nyass (Éterity)
Bára Vaculíková (Yellow Family, Forbidden Fruit, Funky Feast, Levelrise)
Léňa Yellow (Yellow Family, Babylon Station, DC Band, Tomato 22)
Lucie Hawa Goldin (Éterity, dancer and choreographer of TidiTade)

Antonia and Hawa met in a band called Eterity, where they discovered a mutual love of experimenting with voice and rhythm. Both have strong connections with Africa, which is reflected in their art work and particularly in the way they work with rhythm and in the depth and emotion of their lyrics and vocals.

Lena and Bara have worked together since 2000 as vocal duet taking part in many projects. They found Yellow Sisters as an a cappela trio originally when they travelled through Europe with street performances. After several music missions (Berlin, Madrid, Las Palmas-Gran Canaria) which peaked in 2005 by visiting Gambia and meeting project Czech-Gambian Connection, they link with Antonia and Hawa whereby Yellow Sister gained a new dimension.
