Sandra St.Victor - Oya's Daughter (2013) Sandra St. Victor is a powerful R&B/Soul/Rock singer and songwriter who has sung and toured with Chaka Khan, Roy Ayers, Freddie Jackson and others. As lead vocalist of critically acclaimed Funk/Soul/Rock band The Family Stand, which scored a #3 R&B hit with “Ghetto Heaven,” Sandra won a fervent fan base. Her songs have been recorded by Prince, Chaka Khan and Tina Turner. Oya’s Daughter is a tour-de-force produced by cult favorite DJ/re-mixer/producer Mark de Clive-Lowe, who has done work for Lauryn Hill, Jody Watley, Omar and many more. The project ranges from the electro-grooves of “I Prefer” to the straight-up R&B balladry of “Coming Around;” another highlight is “Sugarfoot Is Dead,” Sandra’s tribute to the iconic vocalist/guitarist of The Ohio Players, who passed away earlier this year. http://shanachie.com/musi...-daughter/ Her site: http://www.sandrastvictor.com/ Music for adventurous listeners tA  Tribal Records[Edited 9/24/13 8:51am] "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

“Rock is music, sound, life and emotion—undefinable and limitless,” wrote LaRonda Davis (National President of the Black Rock Coalition) in the article (16 May 2013). Those words could also describe what an audience can expect at a Sandra St. Victor concert, for the artist brings a multitude of vocal and artistic talents to the stage.

My copy is on it's way. I ordered mine off ebay for $15. But I dont understand why most of the retailers are asking so much for a new release ($17-$19). Shanachie CDs are usually more reasonably priced than that. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Looking at a few other of Shanachie's recent releases available on Amazon, they all seem to average around (11+4 shipping) $15. "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Exactly. The last time I checked on amazon, they has Sandra's CD priced at 18+, which did not include the shipping. dustygrooves, which usually offers CDs at lower prices, has it priced at $17. I ended up getting mine from ebay for a little over $15, which included shipping, so I guess I got a good deal. I'm going to assume retailers are pricing the CD higher because Sandra is considered an "underground" artist so the label probably didn't press as many copies of the CD like they would for someone like Maysa or some of the other Jazz artists on the roster, who they know are going to move a respectable amount of copies. I love Sandra but the album probably won't even chart because people aren't hip to her. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley
