An intimate evening at St Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle brings together YAIMA and Nessi Gomes for a quietly immersive concert experience. YAIMA, the duo of multi-instrumentalist and producer Masaru Higasa with vocalist Pepper Proud, shapes cinematic soundscapes with instruments from around the world, organic rhythms, spacious electronic textures, warm vocals, and reflective lyrics. Rooted in a deep reverence for nature, their work seeks to connect people with the natural world. The name draws from a Mapudungun phrase meaning “that which water runs through” as well as Japan’s Yaeyama Islands, and over the past five years their music has reached audiences across the globe. British‑Portuguese songwriter Nessi Gomes, born on the island of Guernsey, writes songs that meet life head on. Her music holds beauty alongside fear, gives space to longing without needing to resolve it, and lets shadowed feelings breathe without shame. Elements of her Portuguese heritage color the emotional palette, from ache and yearning to persistent hope. She writes to understand herself and sings to remain truthful. Her debut album, Diamonds & Demons, opened the way to sharing her songs internationally in both intimate and larger settings, with an emphasis on presence and authenticity.

Her platinum-certified single Labour has surpassed 750 million Spotify streams and generated more than 11 billion social views, helping spark global conversations about reproductive rights and opposition to sexual violence. The album opens with Miyazaki, a bold creative statement named for filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. It moves through terrain that is as personal as it is political. Good Girl confronts the commodification of women’s bodies and drew attention after BBC Woman’s Hour, while Good Boy frames feminism as a call for solidarity with men, introduced by a reading from Emma Thompson.

M. W. Turner, bell hooks’ feminist theory, and Pre-Raphaelite romanticism. Her live shows are known for a communal spirit where fans share small notes, books, and quiet moments.
