#20: Sam Chara - street opera performer

04/22/11 • -1 min

I met Sam on New Road last year - I was attracted by her superb opera style singing (which I could hear several streets away). I made the first part of the recording last year, and the second part of her singing just a few weeks ago in March 2011. I loved it - enjoy!
