Make this song your theme song for the week!

Listen.  Be empowered! Share.

I have been gone for awhile as I was concentrating on a new challenge.  We started with DJs Unique Sound & Entertainment which was established to help local artist brand themselves and gain exposure through social media.  We have expanded and are extremely excited to announce....DJs Unique Sound Charities.  DJs Unique Charities is a non profit in Phoenix, Arizona.  Our ultimate goal is to obtain a motor home and to convert it into a mobile recording studio. Our mission is to help youth by giving them a way to express themselves in a positive way through music and photography instead of negatively in the streets.  It has been a slow start, however, believe in what we are doing and we know our work will help build up self esteem and self worth.  If we can make a difference in one person's life, all the work is worth what we put into it.  We are always looking for suggestions/help.

A reported two million people are in London right now for the London 2012 Olympics. 

If you are visiting London, the UK or Europe this summer, you will want to know where you can find Black-owned businesses. 

When Black people step off the plane, they will want to know:

• Where can I get some nice food? 
• Where can I get my hair done? 
• Where can I buy some lovely gifts for the folks back home? 
• Where can I find a company that will provide business services fast? 

In other words, Where Are the Black People? 

They will be looking for YOUR BUSINESS. 

Want to advertise your business to Londoners, visitors and tourists this summer?  It's just £30 to be included in my directory of Black-owned businesses. 

Click here to contact me if you want to place an ad.  My Black business directory will be advertised widely.

This offer is for ALL Black-owned businesses - men's as well as women's.

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Musical History in the making!

every now and then the right circumstances emerge and a fruitful environment is created that allows a "new music" to be born. Bach wouldn't been able to realize his musical vision without the financial support of the church that enabled him to sit down and write all his wonderful music. Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie among others would not have been able to create "be-bob" without clubs like Mintons Playhouse giving them a platform to meet after hours and jam without havin' to compromise their playing. the examples are too many to list here but I think you get the idea.

Growing up in Sao Paulo, Brazil and touring the world, first as a dancer and later as a singer, I began writing songs that reflected my Afro-Brazilian roots but also reflected my influences from around the world.

In the mean time, last year drummer Henning Stumm began to get together with two friends, guitarist Billy Titus and bassist Glenn Palermo, that shared a similiar interest of taking different styles of music from around the world and blend them together to a colorful and vibrant sound. They began to write grooves that provided foundation to new songs, but they still wanted to add vocals to their songs.

In December last year (2009) I met Henning Stumm on a gig with jazz-pianist Patrick Poladian in New York City. We soon realized that we share a similar musical vision so we decided to join forces.

We began rehearsing and finalizing those songs. but now we still needed a place to perform to present it to the public and get some feed-back.

We found such a place in Giovanna's Restaurant on the upper east side in New York City, a beautiful place with great food. the owner Divino extended his place to us to perform there every thursday night and so a new chapter in our musical history can begin.

I'm really excited about this opportunity for us and are confident that this will develope into something very special.

I hope that this will find your interest and arouse your curiousity and if your're ever in New York City, you will find your way there to become part of "musical history in the making"
