Pictured left, Jianda blew
Palm Springs Pride away with
her cool crooning. Jianda's
vocals soothe any crowd,
moving through venues like a
warm breeze reminiscent of
ancestral voices like Sarah
Vaughn.

The Song featured on this page is
especially picked by Jianda for
Griot Soul Films Supporters to
enjoy. In addition, Jianda recorded
an original song for the
soundtrack of our feature film, She
Wasn't Last Night.

Bringing flavor from the soul of the
African diaspora and reminding
listeners of the vast diversity of
sound & song that exists within it,
Jianda is a breath of fresh air.

Her music, by virtue of its sweet mellow vibe, invites the listener to relax,
reflect, let go, and just be. While many of her selections bring us to the
brink of life's questions, others stir within us a complex intensity that
cries out vibrational challenges to old school perceptions and
projections.

one for the film soundtrack.

We're in talks with the artist
about possible inclusion.

The other tracks on the album

glimpse into the game as

complexity of issues faced within Black and
