Washington DC-based jazz vocalist LOIDE (pronounced "loy-deh') has roots in Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau though born in France and raised in California. Serving up a mix of contemporary jazz and warm Afro-Lusophone rhythms, Loide's music is reflective of her own eclectic roots. She is also an  immigration attorney and immigrant advocate by day.  This song was written as an odd to her migrant roots and the good people of the earth she represents on the daily!

A quick mix I put together featuring some of the incredible vinyl records I brought home from my recent trip to Brazil.  Brazilian vinyl is frequently beat up and scratched so if the record skip, don't trip.

Brother, Do You Know the Road?

Hiss Golden Messenger "Brother, Do You Know the Road?"

"One Day" is off my newly released Album - In Time, this song was written in the wake of the loss of several family members - all of who passed within the span of 5 years.  It was a rough patch, and at times I still get overwhelmed with the thoughts of their memories, what I did and didn't get to know of them, and just the pang of nostalgia (Saudade). But what has kept me inspired, is that I believe I'll see them again...One Day.  Hope you are inspired to!

One Day

Have we come to the end of the road? Where do we go....from here?  The opening lyrics to this tune say it all...some times the most emotionally packed moments have no answers, and the only solution is to simply let it go.  ...and if the timing is right, maybe we'll reunite!  

Take a listen to the South African township vibes with a touch of gospel and whole lotta heart! Enjoy!
