The Truly Amazing Ama Chandra Interview

What can we say about this wonderful, brilliant songstress? Music seems to permeate from her essence. She showed up at the interview vivid and alive recounting to us the details of a melody that came to her while she was driving. She is a healer--a registered nurse and a natural healer. She indeed has healing in her voice. She is fierce, strong and an expert in Capoeira. Seriously, she isn't to be played with. A whole woman. Her soon to be released album is called "Destiny". When you hear it, you'll wonder how she combined jazz, soul, bossa nova, traditional capoeira songs and samba in that perfect way. You will want to take the trip with her. It was predestined.

J*Davey

On the real have you checked out J'Davey? I am loving their "Evil Christian Cop--The Great Misstakes". There is something there for everyone. They cover alt-rock classics like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Then they have electronic--smooth--house-santigold-esq songs. "Quicksand" is hot and we like the verse that slides in near the end. This group has to be on the list. J-Davey we are loving you here! Dopeness!
