American Band The Ken Okada Group ft. YOYOKA Releases Third Album ‘CROSSING OVER’
The Ken Okada Group ft. YOYOKA proudly announces the release of their third studio album, CROSSING OVER, a bold and dynamic work that captures the band’s evolving sound at the intersection of jazz, funk, rock and global influences.
Following a series of acclaimed live performances across the United States and Europe, including sold-out shows at SFJAZZ and appearances at major international festivals, CROSSING OVER represents both a musical milestone and a forward-looking statement from the band.
The album features:
Ken Okada – electric bass
YOYOKA – drums
Ben Torres – tenor sax
Hristo Vitchev – guitar

“CROSSING OVER is about pushing past predictability,” says Okada. “In jazz, that’s one of the biggest challenges. You have to break out of familiar patterns and go somewhere new. This album reflects that process—and how the band itself continues to shape where the music goes next.”

Japanese Artist Garbage Garden Shares Electronic Music Single “Quiet Garden”
Garbage Garden, the experimental project based in Japan, returns with a new single “Quiet Garden”
The son is the opening chapter of the “Still Being” series. It’s an exploration of human existence and the paradox of intimacy, wrapped in a soundscape that balances digital precision with a deep, human touch.
Musically, the track reflects a profound internal struggle. Born from a collaborative process with co-producer , the song shifted from a personal narrative to a universal exploration of “The Noise.” As the artist explains, it is about the “hand that held the spoon” and the “sweat traded for someone else’s clean slate”—devotion that is consumed but never acknowledged.

UK-Based Artist Rivera RV Shares New Single “Conecta”, An Homage to Ghetto Zouk.
Rising artist Rivera RV, originally from Guinea-Bissau and currently based in the UK, has released a new single “Conecta”
Produced by LBeatz, “Conecta” serves as the first single of his upcoming project, the EP 29, scheduled for release at the end of May.
With the release, Rivera reinforces his mission to celebrate and honour Ghetto Zouk, one of the most defining genres of urban Lusophone music.
Born in the late 1990s in the Netherlands by the group Quatro Plus, Ghetto Zouk quickly spread across the African diaspora and captivated an entire generation. Characterized by its strong emotional depth, captivating melodies, and a distinctive urban aesthetic, it became an essential soundtrack of the 2000s.
“I want to bring back Ghetto Zouk in an authentic way. I grew up listening to those sounds, and they are part of my identity. ‘Conecta’ is about returning to the essence, but with a new, more current, and more personal vision,” says Rivera.
Based in the United Kingdom but deeply connected to Lusophone music, Rivera entered the music scene over a decade ago and has performed at venues such as Coliseu dos Recreios, O2 Indigo London, OVO Arena Wembley, Clapham Grand, Manchester Academy Arena, among others.
