Yashna levels up with her new EP Yano Groove II

Loading player...
KZN’s very own Yashna is giving us a December gift we didn’t even know we needed, a brand-new EP titled Yano Groove II.

It’s fresh, it’s vibey, and it’s perfectly crafted for the festive season. Amapiano grooves, smooth vocals, and that unmistakable Yashna flair come together in a project that feels like sunshine, late nights, and celebration.
The EP marks an exciting moment in her evolution as an artist. Yashna has been steadily rising in the music landscape, carving out a sound that blends her incredible voice, confidence and proudly local energy. Yano Groove feels like her stepping fully into her lane and inviting KZN to dance with her.
If you love championing home-grown talent or you're looking for the next addition to your festive playlist, this is one you don’t want to miss.

Tune in to Play Local with Sam Cele every Sunday 6pm-10pm.

Proudly KZN. Proudly Play Local.
