Today I will feature two excellent singers whom you may not be familiar with. Jazz chantreuse Sophie Millman explains her unusual background in the clips below. She's got a large international following because, unlike in America, people living elsewhere on Earth still appreciate fine music. In America, Ke$ha's Tik Tok is considered the acme of good taste. (Yes, that's a dollar sign in her name.) Luciana Souza is a Brazilian singer who comes out of the Bossa Nova tradition, but she does other stuff as well, like the duet with James Taylor below. She's also not very well known in America, no doubt for the same reason Sophie Millman isn't.
Good music will stay alive in this country only if there are people who haven't been ruined by America's debauched culture who are willing to support it.
thanks for bringing these ladies of fine music
i listened to milman on the radio because i like espace musique - music radio of radio canada but i never managed to remember her name
i thought she must be from russia because of how she speaks french with a slavic accent and to get such a profile here is very nice
so thanks a lot
