10 MP3 Songs
LATIN: Latin Jazz, EASY LISTENING: Lounge
Details:
Sandra Lea Wise was born in El Paso, Texas, but spent her youth in Brazil. When she was seven years old her parents became missionaries and moved to Rio de Janeiro. Sandra was educated in Brazilian schools and spoke Portuguese until she returned to the United States at the age of 18.
The Latin influence would be a permanent part of Sandra''s life. Her love of Latin languages and music is a part of her soul. It always comes as a shock to people that this almost 6-foot blonde speaks Spanish and Portuguese natively.
Sandra has taught Portuguese in the Peace Corps, at St. Louis University, where she received her Master of Arts degree in Portuguese and Spanish Literature, and currently teaches Portuguese and Spanish at the University of Texas at Arlington. She enjoys the opportunity to inspire students to learn other languages and in the process get to know other cultures. One of her students, Chris, recently wrote: Dona Sandra Wise is a wonderful teacher. Her love of the Portuguese language and her love for the culture of Brazil are an inspiration. She is a tremendous teacher and a wonderful person. Dona Sandra! Excellent! Very obliged!
Over the years Sandra has performed Latin love songs and recently had the opportunity to record the CD Kiss Me!. In the process of recording a voice-over in Portuguese, Spanish and English for Nokia Phone Company, she met Jason LeBlanc, the owner of Audio Art Café. Jason is an accomplished songwriter and musician who recently retired from performing on the road and started his own recording company. He had always wanted to do a Latin album. Sandra told him about the songs that she had been performing for years and sang them into a tape recorder. Jason then wrote the musical arrangements after which Sandra returned to the studio and recorded the songs and finally Jason added in the other musical instruments.
"I especially love the way Jason plays the guitar. He truly felt this music and his arrangements are very emotional. I wanted to make a romantic album that expressed all of the emotions of falling in and out of love," says Sandra. The original version, "Romance," is sung in Portuguese, Spanish and English and is available on Sandra''s website.
On this CD, the songs are sung all in English. Sandra wrote the lyrics for certain songs which didn''t have English versions.
"I dedicate Kiss Me! to all the baby-boomers out there like myself, who love romantic music, listen to talk-radio, and are nostalgic for the good old days!"
