I was feeling in an Ayo mood, so I decided to put up a video by the beautiful Ayo entitled "Lonely." This track is from her latest record Gravity At Last. I'm loving it. Check out her video.
Music: Celia Cruz
Celia Cruz is internationally known as the "Queen of Salsa." Born in Havana, Cuba in 1925, Celia Cruz remains the most influential female figure in the history of Cuban music. Her trademark shout "Azucar" meaning "sugar" in Spanish became a signature in all of her music. Sadly in 2003 at the age of 77, Celia died from a cancerous brain tumor at her home in New Jersey. Even after her death, Celia's music remains legendary. Check out this beautiful vintage footage of her performing "Quimbara" live in Africa.
Sade is BACK!
Sade has returned to the world with her highly anticipated album, Soldier of Love which will be released on February 8, 2010. This is Sade's first official studio album since Lovers Rock in 2001. Recorded in England, Soldier of Love was produced by her long time band and their collaborator, Mike Pela. What can I say, guys. I am super excited for her album to drop. Ms. Adu never dissappoints. Go Sade!! Welcome back!!
Music: Sandy Cossett
Sorry guys, this has no actual video. I have been looking so desperately for this singer's music to show you because she is so great...success!! Sandy Cossett kind of reminds me of Erykah Badu (voice wise), but the French version. Her first album Au Bonheur is HOT!!! It combines some good ol' soul, reggae, and r&b. This is Cossett's new joint entitled "Ton Manege." I am loving it. Check it out!
