Bands & Musicians
international, jazz, vocalistAkaBella Lucious Ladies
"Not just another a cappella cover band... AkaBella grooves. Soulful, ancient melodies float above intricate rhythmic textures in breathtaking five-part harmony. Elements of Reggae, Hip-Hop, R&B and Jazz meld with African, Balkan and Indian vocal styles to become a singular sound unto itself. Though the women of AkaBella have music degrees and intrepid travels under their belt, it is their synergistic style and energetic performances that have captured the hearts of their fans and led them to share the stage with artists like Toubab Krewe and Vieux Farka Toure. Whether or not you believe in magic, there is something that happens when these five women gather in harmony: it is enchanting. They are gracefully raw and ecstatically reverent, refusing to be pigeonholed by genre, gender or denomination. AkaBella moves people with their voices and audiences emerge dancing, clapping and singing along." http://www.akabella.com http://www.myspace.com/akabeleza http://www.cdbaby.com/akabella
