Yo-Yo Ma is a Classical act. Their sound grew out of Astor Piazzolla, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Philip Glass, Pablo Casals and Bobby McFerrin.

They run in the same orbit as Hilary Hahn, Jacqueline du Pré, Julia Fischer, Arthur Rubinstein and Emerson String Quartet, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Esperanza Spalding, Bobby McFerrin, Carlos Santana, Chris Botti and Diana Krall, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
