Kanaka Open mic youtu.be/-vDUY4TAw98 Dont forget to visit Kanaka Open mic this week, which will be full of surprises (perhaps even from behind the counter!!). This week I have added a video of singer/songwriter Susana Silva busking on Westminster bridge in London.....and WOW! what a busker she is!! The song is Feeling Good written by English songwriters Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical The Roar of the Greasepoint - the smell of the crowd. Nina Simone probably performed the most famous version of this song. Susana sings the song with passion, power and joy. Apparently Susana arrived in London from Portugal a couple of years ago, with nothing but a two stringed guitar and a few pounds in her pocket. Couldnt find out too much about her apart from this. Such a splendid performer, conveyor of heart and soul!! Hope to hear more! You can find Kanaka Open mic every Wednesday, 5pm - 7.30pm at Kanaka Creek Coffee, #101-24155 102nd Avenue, Maple Ridge, (left at 240th/Lougheed, right on 102nd) Maple Ridge.
