I recorded these two non-lexical vocalise songs to celebrate the spirit of travel and adventure, evoke feelings of wanderlust, and reflect the excitement of exploration along with the beauty of diverse cultures.
This Father’s Day song was written to honor the role of fatherhood from the perspective of dads rather than offspring. It expresses an appreciation for the honor and privilege of raising a child or children and the reward that comes from providing them with the love, support and guidance they need—to acknowledge the significance a father feels when he influences and shapes his children's lives and fosters positive relationships. .
Of my most popular and best trending songs, this one is at the top of the list. This particular rendition of "But I Do" is the second cover of one of my tunes recorded by Lucia Sinatra, the Argentine singer-songwriter, musician and vocal coach who won a local composer contest when she was 12 years old and has opened for artists like Julieta Venegas and Vanessa Martin (not to be confused with the Lucia Sinatra who is an international Italian singer, songwriter and vocal coach situated in Dubai, UAE).
This vibrant essentially instrumental piece weaves a tapestry of Afrocentric rhythms and American jazz, with pulsating beats from traditional drums laying a primal foundation—their polyrhythmic grooves evoking ancient ceremonies under starlit skies. Over this, the tenor saxophone floats with soulful, jazz-inflected lines, channeling the improvisational spirit while seamlessly intertwining with a non-lexical African-inspired chant. The vacalise, sung in near-unison with the sax, repeats a tribal-like refrain, blending old traditions with modern jazz sensibilities.
This song is meant to celebrate the soulful pulse of drums, weaving traditional instruments with a smooth, uplifting melody and sweet harmonies that float alongside infectious beats, inviting you to tap your feet and bob your head to the joyous groove, lifting your spirit and honoring the timeless power of percussion.
