about

Raised in the suburbs of Stockholm by Surinamese parents, singer and songwriter Graciela Chin A Loi shared her passion and love for music with her father Don Pancho Chin A Loi - one of Scandinavias pioneers within Cuban salsa and Caribbean music. Her musical background is as multifaceted as her roots, and in the soundscape of Neo Soul, Jazz and Gospel, Chin A Loi has found her own expression, always with her soulfully equilibristic vocals in focus.

She has been writing K-Pop hits, working with Swedish top artists as well as headlining Jazz venues in Sweden and collaborating with high profile Jazz musicians in Sweden and the United States.

Chin A Loi has a strong belief in the importance of serving music fully by being creative without compromise. She has taken to heart the words of pianist Larry Willis, requoted by trumpeter Roy Hargrove in an inspiring and beautiful interview: “If you take care of your music it will take care of you”.

lyrics

Why should we stay in this thing that just won’t go our way Trying to mend but it’s all pretend
We could be brave and let love push ego out our way
What if we could, let go of all pain if we’d break this chain

Tell me you want me to know that forever
Was not just a dream
And will you come with me when I leave
To a place where our love could grow

You sure we’re okay, when we don’t have so much left to say Stuck on this trail where all we can do is stray
Can you still feel how the sun used to warm us in May
What if we could go back there again, if we’d break this chain

And where our hearts are in control
cause they just seem to know
That we can let go of
(all that stands in our way)
A place to stay
(just need you to)

I am sure we can be, rest assured you will see
That we’ll find home right in a place (place that is meant) that is Meant just for us
(I’m sure that we find love again) I am sure we can be
Rest assured you will see
That we’ll find joy right in a place that is meant just for us
