Siama wrote this song ("Beautiful Life" in Swahili) for our cherished friend whose journey was cut short by cancer. In those difficult months, she'd summon friends to laugh at funny videos, eat delicious food, meditate and cuddle. Siama composed this song on the guitar as she rested and when she began requesting he play it, he wrote the lyrics especially for her, "This beautiful life. Drink it up. Savor it. No one knows what will come tomorrow but today is for us to live".
Carnatic veena virtuoso Nirmala Rajasekar and vocals by JD Steel and Dallas Johnson carry the music into the stratosphere.
Musicians: Siama (guitar and vocals), Nirmala Rajasekar (veena and vocals), JD Steele (vocals), Greg Schutte (drums), Tony Axtell (bass), Brian Ziemniak (Steinway grand piano), and Dallas Johnson (vocals)
