Yello is a Swiss electronic duo comprised of Dieter Meier and Boris Blank, acclaimed for their unique blend of music that combines elements of synthpop, electro pop, and avant-garde sounds. The group was formed in Zurich in 1979, and they gained international fame during the 1980s with tracks such as "Oh Yeah" (famously used in the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off") and "The Race". Dieter Meier is known for his deep, distinctive voice and enigmatic lyrics, while Boris Blank is the sound genius behind their elaborate and often ground-breaking music production.

Over the last four decades, Yello has solidified their status as pioneers in the electronic music scene, consistently pushing the boundaries of audio and video artistry. Their distinctive approach to music production, often characterized by a blend of quirky sounds, driving beats, and cinematic qualities, has earned them a devout following. The 2020 release "Yello 40 Years" commemorates their rich heritage in the industry, encapsulating not just their innovative spirit but also their formidable impact on the world of music. With a discography that includes albums like "Point" (2020), "Toy" (2016), and "Touch Yello" (2009), they continue to mesmerize audiences through both recorded and live performances, including the visually spectacular experience captured in "Live In Berlin" (2017).
