Lua performs with Sheldon Forrest at Lisbon’s Camones Artes Bar, Tuesday Night music curated by Shaka. A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, introduced in halting Portuguese.

With a full pink moon overhead outside, and a full house inside this intimate acoustic music "Fado" Club in Lisbon, Portugal, Lua celebrated a birthday by singing her heart out. The multi-lingual audience enjoyed international jazz favorites, often bursting into irrepressible singalong, with Lua swinging and crooning in three languages, accompanied by Sheldon Forrest at the piano.

Perfect for this international audience, had a swinging time with Sheldon Forrest and Bei Mir Bist du Shayn.

Here's a multicultural experience for you. An American singer sings a French song in a Portuguese club to an international audience and they all join in. Cultural diplomacy heaven.

When I sing Maxime LeForestier’s French pop song about the Blue House in San Francisco, I think of this.
