La Orquesta del Sol Naciente

Hailing from Santiago, Chile, is this angsty sounding rock band with good fun energy named La Orquesta del Sol Naciente, or in English, Rising Sun Orchestra. The band intertwines both Spanish and English into the songs. Enjoy!

Cecilia Noël

The last time I wrote about Cecilia Noël was in 2011. Click here to visit that post and see/hear some excellent handpicked live concert films of Cecilia Noël and The Wild Clams.

Cecilia Noel is looking younger and more vibrant as time has gone on. World travel and dancing with The Wild Clams does wonders! Her band travels and performs far and wide. For quite some time now, Cecilia has made Cuba a regular destination.

Her latest album is appropriately titled HAVANA ROCKS.  Havana is where she recorded and filmed the entire project. She gives several pop classics a Cuban funk, jazz, salsa and soul flavor, a la Cecilia. She covers songs by David Bowie, Devo, Men At Work, Thin Lizzy, Van Halen, ACDC and Gary Numan. Below are the videos of Cecilia Noël's renditions to Gary Numan’s “Cars”, ACDC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long" and Devo's song titled "Whip It". Enjoy!

Kim Churchill - Canopy (Live on Mahogany Sessions)

MusicLoad first featured the surfer/musician/singer/songwriter Kim Churchill here in October 2012 with his fantastic live take of an original song he wrote titled Tides - (click here to hear/view) -

It's a great pleasure to have been following his travels since that time, as he has worked his way around the globe working non-stop.  The cool thing about Churchill is that he knows how to enjoy the perks of world travel, as evidenced on his Facebook page and stream of photos that he shares.

Below is the latest well done live take video installment from Kim that was shot by the the U.K. based Mahogany Session blog.  Enjoy!
