O’s Notes: Pianist, vocalist Sheyda Do’a leads the charge with soft tones in a recording assembled from afar courtesy of the pandemic. She blends her Albanian, German, Iranian and Italian heritage into a unique soulful culture. Harold Lopez (p, vocals), Julio Cesar González (b) and Mayquel González (t) establish the bossa nova and Latin rhythms. “Undiad” and “Lámpara” are great examples of blended vocals with the instrumentation in rich harmonies on Higher Grounds.
