Kaissa's first CD, "Looking There" had been my very favorite CD of all time.  Now, it has to share that honor with "I'm So Happy."  Kaissa's got a wonderful rich voice and excellent musicality, and her band is top-notch.  Her songs are a unique blend of afro-pop, jazz, and soul influences.  I love them even when I don't understand the words, but the explanations in the liner notes share the inspiring messages in her songs.  This is a "must-have"!

Blessed with a vocal timbre which invokes aural images of her native Cameroon, Kaïssa, with this release, carries on the musical traditions of Africa with poise and precision. Staying true to her roots, she sings in the indigenous languages of Doula and Zulu, transcending barriers of translation with a sincerity which knows no boundaries or borders. With I Am So Happy, she has come into her own as a songwriter, producer, and musical artist, whose endowment is in full bloom.

Gabriela mistral said " the artist is the  soul of the people" and that rings so true when listening to Kaissa's music and seeing her perform, she brings forth depth , joy and gets you singing with her. Kaissa is an extraordinary singer and a soul that encompasses the richness of the African culture and experience.

I look forward to hearing the music and dancing to it !
