by Dan Bilawsky

Kat Parra: Las Aventuras de Pasion!
by Dan Bilawsky
Kat Parra's voice may be the ultimate manifestation of the entire Latin music diaspora. While countless singers dabble in bossa nova or wander far and wide atop Afro-Cuban grooves, few people tackle the scope of music that Parra takes on.

Kat Parra: Las Aventuras de Pasion!
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

Amikaeyla & Trelawny Rose: To Eva, With Love: A Celebration of Eva Cassidy Live
by C. Michael Bailey
Singer Eva Cassidy was a force of nature, an incandescent slice of lightening that flashed and was no more.

Cassidy's career lasted barely 10 years and never garnered the attention ...
