Blue Chameleon's sound blossoms like a flower's refreshing fragrance. You'll breathe it in and feel good.
Blue Chameleon's groove driven BASS & CONGA rhythms and SULTRY VOCAL fuse Calypso, Caribbean, Salsa, World Music, & Jazz into a truly unique 'make you feel good' experience.
Bios Yazid Yazid, an accomplished wind instrument player, African drummer, percussionist, and pianist who has played with the late Marvin Gaye gives Blue Chameleon their distinct groove driven style.  For Yazid, drumming takes him to a spiritual plane where he becomes grounded in a reality that is The Moment – the eternal now.  Drumming reflects our basic life force of rhythm from our breath and heart beat.  Many people find peace from the ancient spiritual wisdom learned from drumming.  Yazid strongly believes in creating music that is powerful and positive which uplifts the listener's spirit, emotions, and overall well-being. Jende Jende truly possesses an artist's spirit.  In addition to writing wonderful music her creativity is expressed through jewelry design.  Jende's Flower Jewelry Collection has been reviewed in InStyle, Self, Atlanta, Accent, and Natural Living magazines.  Visit Jende's Flower Jewelry Collection ™ at www.jende.com to see her line of "Jewelry combining the elegance of silver with the beauty of tiny real flowers". Like the 1940's torch singers, Jende's soothing voice overlays the percussive sounds with velvety sultriness.  Together she and Yazid instantly produced song after song of quality commercial music, possessing a distinct sound of their own.  She has written over 30 songs with Florida blues legend Charles Atkins, Sr.  With a gift for prolific melodical lyrical writing Jende imparts Blue Chameleon's songs with elements of story-telling, emotional depth, introspection and radiance.  The influence of powerhouse females like Billie Holiday, Anita Baker, Bonnie Raitt and Sade are heard in her unique vocal.  Jende will relax you, empower you, and enlighten you when her light shines on you.
