About Leila
Leila - www.leilasworld.com
Hello All,
"Leilasworld" is a world where I celebrate the beauty of our human tapestry, the multicultural elements that are fused into my music, artistry and soul. Unity, Oneness and Connection are at the core of what I write and sing about, but also have songs simply created for sheer joy and no particular "cause". I do however deeply appreciate and celebrate the color, sound and rhythms of the world and as a result know no other way to put on a live show. I hope that my collection of live concert videos and the songs I upload here on OUR STAGE, might leave you with an appreciation of different cultures and a sense of pride in your own roots...wherever your from...whoever you are. The videos were all shot live at numerous locations, varying times, and under very different conditions, concerts that I was blessed to give once and now have the AMAZING opportunity to share again with you! My music which is a fusion of Latin, Soul and Worldbeat elements, are my sincerest and most heartfelt offering and if only for a moment I hope they bring a "smile" and connect us in some way...blessings to you all, Leila
