Marie Keane – “Shadow” WHOAH. The funk is strong with this one. This is Marie Keane’s lead single from her upcoming album “MNÁ”. And you know what? It’s INCENDIO. That’s fire in Portuguese. Why? Well, the Latin percussion with claps that ring takes you from Marie’s native Ireland to the streets of Brazil with the …
Hello Sammy, how are you? Very well, thank you. Congratulations on the release of The Wonder Of Jazz. How does it feel? I feel nervous and excited. It is also like letting something go.

This song comes forth with a swag from the outset, the bassline, drums, guitar and keyboards, bring a real soulful texture to this…..
