Our Song //
Dear Friends & Students,
I began writing 'Our Song' when our daughter, Chiara was growing in my womb... I wrote a verse & a chorus & then I couldn't find the words to complete it... So there it stayed, on the pages of my heart for 12 years... It was only 8 months ago that the rest of the words spilled out & what was intended to be a solo sung by a mother to her daughter, evolved into a duet sung by both...
I realize now, there was a bigger plan being brewed by the divine for this composition... The result is what you see & hear....
It comes to you with the immeasurable love & joy a child brings to a family...
May you feel it & share it with those you hold dear. We look forward to your feedback .
Warmly,
Carla Dsouza

Ave Maria //
Dear Friends, Students & Well Wishers,
Today, on Mother's Day, I dedicate this release, to Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
I've always felt a strong bond with the Holy Mother.
Whilst at school, Fatima Convent, South Goa, there were many occasions where I found myself in its little chapel, in prayerful solitude just gazing into "her' eyes...
In these quiet moments, I found strength and serenity, which have been steadfast with me until this day
Divine guidance brought the release of this cover in May, a month dedicated to Mother Mary.
It's release this Mother's Day, honours Mother Mary, who for many is an epitome of simplicity, grit and deep spirituality.
This cover is a confluence - of a beautiful EDM track by an unknown artist with Schubert's, Ave Maria - intended to render a modern vibe to the erstwhile track while retaining the depth of its essence.
Warmest wishes to all Mother's everywhere - may you always comfort and inspire those in your care!
Do tag your mother and dedicate this timeless piece to her.
I request you to share it also with music lovers you know....
To me, your thoughts & feedback are always welcome....
Warmly,
Carla Dsouza

Love is As Simple As This //
Dear Friends,
This song is my experience of Love!
Jazz, a genre closest to my heart - the genre that made my talent come alive on stage! Also the One that gave me the privilege of collaborating with some of the finest musicians in India & abroad!
So, somewhere through the notes of my song, I hope to strike a chord within you...that you may find simplicity in the world's most sought-after feeling, to keep & to share...
Love! to me, is the most beautiful friendship between souls.
Love is, as simple as this...
So, may you love, be loved & feel loved...
Happy Valentines Day!!
Love & Joy,
Carla D'souza
