We do this for him even more,” Celina Makoba told me as she clapped her hands to the traditional music that has transformed the street in front of Mandela’s home into a festival.”-people of Johannesburg

Rise Up With Andra Daymessymandella

Andra Day is a blast from the 1940′ s and a breath and glimpse of women who are willing to create their own legacy of rhythm and blues and jazz vocalization. Andra is similar to the Motown sound but is ultimately their own. Her voice also lends a bit of inspiration from Ella Fitzgerald and she is simply beautiful.

Cheers To The Fall is a critically acclaimed unveiling of the voice and writing ability and vision of Mrs. Andra Day. She has musical ability that we desperately needing in the music industry and she can now join the ranks of Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and Deangelo. Mrs. Day is singing and incorporates retro soul and the music industry will capitalize on pop music but what happened to soul music?
