Neo Soul

Have you ever had a moment when so many things and events and situations happen all at the same time and you feel overwhelmed to the point where you just freeze and hide in a corner or somewhere so no one can see you?  Well, I don’t know about you but life can really get in the way for you to make progress and continue on with your journey to a good life both in the spiritual sense and the physical form.  This episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast will focus on the mental.  Mental stability, mental greatness and mental peace just to name a few.  My name is Kenny Chiba and again this is the Overlooked Tracks podcast and we will start episode #47 with a band and a smooth soul singer telling a story of keeping it simple, keeping it special and keeping it pure because life can be rough and it may put you on your ass, but each of us have the power to get back up, dust ourselves off and fight for what you truly believe and love. 

The Overlooked Tracks podcast is back home after exploring the great lands of Central Asia and the Middle East discovering such awesome music for you to listen, share and enjoy.  Now along with that experience of understanding the greatness of that part of the globe, let us have focus on the outstanding vibes, melody, lyrics, and everything else of what women in music brings to the world.  Making a strong case from our past focus of women music artists in episode #12, this episode and the next will take you on a journey of music the better half of the human race, the intelligent, the more talented and of course the more beauty these and many more music artists bring to the airwaves and the internet.  In other words, women in this art form called music simply brings grace we all need in our lives. 

The Overlooked Tracks podcast is back on the road and this time we are exploring the land where the beat, rhythm and style of music began, The continent of Africa.  I need to get this out of the way now and apologize for the long absence because there were so many tracks to choose resulting in one the hardest podcast episode we’ve done at this point.  It was overwhelming on choosing songs for the podcast because there’s tons of music that’s connected with each country in Africa and it kicked my ass a bit on choosing them.

What’s up everyone and welcome to the Chill Laundry Lounge where you can wash your worries away and listen to some chill music and just simply lounge.  Decided to do the podcast in the neighborhood Laundry Mat and get some clothes washed and again to wash my worries away so I can chill, focus on my mental state or meet new people or old friends.  The Chill laundry Lounge can be a good place to listen to the machines wash clothes and in a way a form of meditation. This time, we invite you to listen to the sounds of you and me and we and us.  

As we are on the Overlooked Tracks Music Bus traveling to several destinations of The Philippines, Singapore, India and the Russian Federation and my goodness this has been a ride to journey on because there is music all over the place, an adventure to both listen to traditional and modern type of music.  Yes, it has been difficult to pick, which is what makes the trip even more pleasurable to take – to seek, explore and discover sounds from the Music Universe, which indeed is a very BIG place and again simply to live the best life with music as much as possible with the many MANY SOUNDS, RHYTHMS AND BEATS.

We are back on the road to our next destination and these set of tracks for episode #19 can be described by one word – MOTIVATION.  Tracks 1 and 2 are for the motivation of love, togetherness, and staying focused on each other during moments in life. Track 3 is simply telling you to keeping it real and stop standing still when you got to live and it’s all a big game but the difference is how you play the field!! In others words – GET OFF YOUR ASS AND LIVE YOU AND LIVE THE BEST OF YOU!!
