Loide - In Time (2014)

Washington DC-based 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 has spent the last 12 years honing her musical craft in some of the nation’s hippest jazz clubs at night. Loide cites Sarah Vaughn, Cesaria Evora and Miriam Makeba as some of her greatest musical influences, but believes it is her African heritage that has provided her with a fresh musical perspective, a unique sound, and her native tongue.
