Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

I started ten weeks ago doing what I call Sing, Sing a Song Saturday.  I'm going to post one song on Saturdays that the boys or I like. I'll see how long I can keep it up.

The song may be part of a movie, a kid's video or just a song we like. It may or may not include words. I'll try and include why we like it and/or the history of the song/singer.

This is blues band called MêM. The singer is albino. Vincent Theard and M Nahadr along with a host of eclectic, committed, estranged from the narrow, musical madmen and women conspire to inspire each other in a collection of musical mindsets disguised as melodies compiled to make up their music.

M Nahadr is not just a singer, she is an activist about being albino. She helps people to understand what it's like to be albino. She's been in the National Geographic and did an interview with The Discovery Channel. She talked in an interview about having friends that are dying of skin cancer. Some things are very difficult because she has to stay out of the sun and her eyes are very sensitive. Her voice on the other hand is amazing. She puts passion into what she sings.

  1. She has a great voice. I bet it is really hard to be an albino and she has to be under all those bright lights.
