Hey everyone!, this is my entry for CBC's HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA ANTHEM CHALLENGE. My entry is entitled Slap Shot Rock
I felt that the Hockey anthem should be the combination of a traditional and rock sound. It should be written for every single generation and contain a class that will last for generations to come; from newborns to 100 year olds!
I created this anthem with all my love, respect and admiration to the sport and history of Hockey and to such a proud nation that embraces it with such fervour. I've attempted to capture that rising emotion that I have personally experienced and witnessed time and time again at every single game I have been to or seen on Hockey Night in Canada!!!

boulevard del amor" Does Wonders 
Lida has come through with a terrific CD titled ?boulevard del amor? that is refreshing and engaging all at once. Lida plays keyboards and synthesizers, and she sings lead and background vocals as well as being the main composer and producer of this project.
She chose to write in a variety of styles that were in her soul; Latin, Soul, Funk, and Reggae; all beautifully arranged and recorded; and the music doesn?t sound copied, a rare feat. I do hear echoes of Pete Escovedo, Joe Bataan, Shelia Escovedo, Emuir Deodato, and Bobbi Humphrey as the music flows. The orchestration is brilliant too, there are live horn section and solo parts throughout the music that are so properly placed and very well done.
All of her vocals are sung in Spanish, with the exceptions of ?Let?s Stay Together? and ?Flute?, which are sung in English. And one other song, ?Estrella Fugaz?, is sung to good effect by singer Juan De Dios Rodriguez Basurto(I believe).
My favorites are ?Cerca Del Sol? and the title track, ?boulevard del amor?. But do have a listen for yourself soon. That way, you won?t miss out on this wonderful collection of music by a very talented musician!

Check out Lida who brings us some great Latin jazz and world from...Vancouver. Nice combination. Digging it all.
I immediately added Lida's distinctive stuff to both my Jazz playlist and a new one, Nothing But Lida.
This is up-beat jazz in modern Latina format, a different, Let's Stay Together, and the slight change of pace in Tu Esencia. Lot's of pleasurable listenin'.
