Roy Hargrove wrote the song Kamala's Dance for his daughter Kamala when she was just a year old. By an incredible twist of fate, Kamala grew up to become a professional dancer. The song is the second single on Roy's latest album release Grande-Terre and Kamala created a stunning music video for the song in a beautiful tribute to her father.
The track, performed by Roy Hargrove's Crisol, is a soothing wall of sound punctuated by invigorating rhythmic hits from Roy and his all-star band:
