The Grounds Are Calm -- Music from BelO

The jazzy sounds of this Haitian artist brings to mind Seal, Bob Marley and Tracy Chapman. The message is in the music. The soul is in the guitar riffs and smooth vocals. His sound is a potent combo of jazz-rock-soul-reggae... enjoy. Find out more about BelO here.
