Toto Bona Lokua

African and Africanish super trio composed of Congolese folk singer Lokua Kanza, Cameroonian jazz bassist and vocalist Richard Bona, and French (but of Afro-Caribbean descent) musician Gerald Toto. Each musician has had massive international hits of their own but together make something that sounds little like their solo works. They sing in English, French, and I’m assuming Congolese and/or Cameroonese.

Grupo Fantasma

Latin funk band out of Austin, Texas. So funky Prince used them as his backing band on numerous occasions.

ha*ash | Debut

Mexican-American sisters Hanna Nicole Pérez Mosa and Ashley Grace Pérez Mosa from Lake Charles, Louisiana sing country pop in Spanish with a Louisiana twang.

Gustavo Cerati

Lead singer of the Argentine band Soda Stereo. After the band broke up in 1997, Cerati enjoyed a successful solo career until he suffered a stroke at the end of a concert on May 2010 in Venezuela. He remained in a coma for four years until succumbing to respiratory arrest on 4 September 2014. Gracias Totales.

Chris Cornell | Songbook

When vocal coaches teach how to sing like the grunge masters, they reference Chris Cornell. Beneath the distressed hyper glottal compression vocals that gave Soundgarden, Audioslave, and Temple of the Dog their gritty sound, was one of the greatest singing talents to bless this earth with an incredible four-octave range. Say Hello 2 Heaven.
