Wash. DC based jazz 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. An immigration attorney by day, she has spent the last 9 years honing her musical craft in some of the nation's hippest speakeasies and jazz clubs by night. Within the last year alone Loide has had the privilege to perform with world renown jazz bassist Lonnie Plaxico, Dave Marsh, and percussionist Kahlil Kwame Bell. She has performed in Hollywood for a star-studded televised event, opened for the legendary Hugh Masekela, and Zimbabwean guitarist Oliver Mtududzi, and most recently performed at the world reknown Blues Alley. Loide is currently working with Lucky Dube's original guitarist, Mongezi Nkata on new material. Loide cites Sarah Vaughn, Cesaria Evora and Miriam Makeba as some her greatest musical influences, but believes it is her African heritage that has provided her with a fresh musical perspective, a unique sound, and song in her native tongue, Portuguese. **************
