Percussionist, composer, and keyboardist, Loida reminds us that playing piano is not just for the virtuosos, but for all of us with a voice that yearns to express.

Loida shares new works and previous released now arranged for the piano expanding its range and depth along with an arrangement of the classic Tears for Fears song, 'Mad World'.
