Naz-「Clear Skies」 Music Video

Songs with complex rhythms like this seem hard to sing, but she meshes perfectly with the track, and since she’s only 19, there’s a lot to look forward to from her.

The sounds of ethnic percussion like djembe and bongo evoke a tropical Okinawan vibe.

It’s not a four-on-the-floor beat but a distinctive rhythm that’s surprisingly easy to groove to.

A track where her Okinawan background rides the sound and comes through clearly.
