Yanni is, without a doubt, a musical phenomenon, one of those rare artists whose music defies borders and boundaries - whose music speaks to people of all races, all nations. And there is more than ample evidence to support such statements.

His breakthrough success came with the 1994 release of Yanni Live in the Acropolis, deemed to be the second best-selling music video of all time, (behind Michael Jackson's video for Thriller with nine million units). • He is considered to be one of the top fundraisers of all time for public television.

Style of Yanni’s Music • No one can deny that music is one of the effective ways of communication. However, music is differing from one culture into another. Jazz, Pop, Classic ,etc are different types of music and musicians used different types of instruments in each one of these types. Moreover, there is one branch of music which is called articulate music because it expresses the meaning throughout its magnificent melody. • Yanni is considered the one of the most important musicians on this type of music.

Style of Yanni’s Music In music, articulation refers to the direction or performance technique which affects the transition or continuity on single note or between multiple notes or sounds.It’s generally refers to how the pieces of music are joined together; for example, how bones are connected to make a skeleton or syllables are connected to make a word. Common articulations : Staccato , Legato, Accent, Slur, Tie, Portamento. Each articulation is represented by a different symbol placed above or below the note (depending on its position on the staff).
“ Yanni Voices” • The man's music was meant to be sung. Revered for his sweeping symphonic pieces and intimate keyboard airs, Yanni long resisted having vocalists reinterpret his music with lyrics. That is, until now with his premiere Disney Pearl album, "Yanni Voices." More than two years in the making, "Voices" is without question Yanni's most ambitious project yet. Teaming up with Grammy-winning producer Ric Wake, Yanni went all out, discovering four young singers - Nathan Pacheco, Ender Thomas, Leslie Mills and Chloe - and pairing them with his compositions, old and new. • YouTube - Yanni Voices 2009 Tour Highlights
