The World/Jazz/R&B song has also earned advanced rankings in the 2005 ISC and Billboard Magazine song competitions. "La Raihna" is now a music video produced and directed by Kurt Ritta (2006). The mini-movie called "Visually stunning and exotic!" by Mike McHugh, features a series of New York City scenes, including Central Park, Café Charbon on the Lower East Side and the 24th annual Mermaid Parade at Coney Island , and a sexy night shoot in water, in a multi- layered meditation on love. Written between Lisbonne and Paris during a series of thunderstorms, and recorded and mastered in New York, "La Raihna" is a multi-year hegira that includes a collaboration with French techno guitar master Paul Mahoux, who wrote the empathetic music and produced the multilayered sound on a crisp Gibson 335. It was premiered at New York City's legendary Hit Factory on September 29, 2007 paired with a live perfromance by Ekayani and the Healing Band. To see the video searck youtube, metacafe, or visit

author: liseI have been playing my CD ever since it arrived in the mail a week ago. I am hooked! I love the mixture of poetry type reading and singing, a wonderful soulfoul feel!!! Jazzy, cool and beautiful.
It drew me in and calmed me down.
author: Little EmbersI spun your record yesterday morning while scrambling some eggs and brewing some coffee. It was the coolest breakfast I've had in quite some time. I really dig your music, the rhythms, your voice, the whole approach. It is sweetly rich, melodic and different. I haven't heard anything quite like it before. It drew me in and calmed me down.
