Gypsy Jazz Vocalist Delilah Left Her Home in Budapest to Escape Racial Tension


Gypsy jazz singer Delilah was born in Budapest, Hungary where she had to leave in order to escape racial tension. Delilah inherited her gift of music from her parents, who immersed her in performing from an early age. By the age of 10, she was singing and dancing with her family in a 20-member touring ensemble with one of Hungary’s noted Roma performers, Bongo Margit, throughout Europe. By the time she was 16, she and her older brother Paul Lakatos, a guitar virtuoso, were performing with violinist Sonny Walker, another Roma legend, who jammed regularly with her father and family at impromptu gatherings in her home. Unfortunately, the joy of music was overshadowed by politics and racial tension in Hungary, so Delilah and her family moved to Toronto, Canada in 1998. Following her success in Hungary, this beautiful singer had earned a reputation as a professional songstress in the Toronto area by the age of 19!

Delilah has refined her music to a beautiful smooth jazz and pop sound. She will  be performing this summer in Philadelphia at Warmdaddys on Thursday June 20th. There you’ll get to hear her striking voice in person while she pours her heart and soul into her performance. What a treat! If you’re in the Philly area, you should definitely come and enjoy this Hungarian beauty.

To listen to, download, or order her album The Sweeter Life, visit iTunes or Amazon

Easy Listening Pop Artist Wayne Reynolds Puts a Folk Spin on His Classic Love Songs


Wayne Reynolds, an Easy Listening Pop artist, has put that classic folk sound right into his very own love songs. He really pulls influences from his years playing classical guitar and being on the forefront of rock in Tennessee in the 60’s. You combine all of that and you get Wayne Reynolds! All of these influences really set the classic folk vibe that everybody loves.

Reynolds has re-released his album “Another Day Goes By” this year. It contains elements of Folk, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Bossa Nova, Oldies and more! As an eclectic singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Reynolds has consistently avoided kowtowing to any brand of musical dogma throughout his musical career I’m reminded,” muses Reynolds, “of the exhortation by none other than Bobby McFerrin that we should not live in the same musical room all the time. Walk around, don't get stuck.”

There is no doubt that “Another Day Goes By” adheres to the open-ended artistic ethos that has sustained Reynolds since the beginning of his musical journey. You can listen, download, or order the album on iTunes and Amazon. You can also download his single “A Little Gray” for free on Facebook here.
