I had the honor of discovering the music of Vanessa Lively after seeing a You Tube video of her rendition of «Baila Conmigo». The second time I heard her music was in another You Tube video with the famed Texas Singer Songwriter Laura Marie.

Before writing about Vanessa Lively, I visited her website and reviewed her music including the CD «Canto y Cantera» which deals with music from Latin America. Vanessa Lively has released a new album with the title of «Uncovering Stones» which consists of her rendition of «Baila Conmigo» and «Follow Your Heart».

Vanessa Lively was born in San Antonio, Texas and arrived at the music scene during her time as a graphic designer. Vannesa Lively and her husband Jason Lively (who helps Vanessa) in the recordings of such great music lived in Ecuador and Maine.

It was from the experience in Ecuador (and other parts of the world) that she is able to record such precious gems. The interpretation of the music «Canto y Cantera» (which was recorded in memory of Mercedes Sosa) and «Uncovering Stones» by Vanessa Lively is pure and down to earth.

Vanessa Lively commented that her experience in Ecuador was one in which the world was filled with music. She continued to talk about her experience by commenting about how people sang for the sake of singing and enjoying life.

The album «Uncovering Stones» also deserves to be mentioned for the effort in recording it. Vanessa Lively painted the canvas for the CD design and sold them to raise money for the recording.

Vanessa Lively (and Jason Lively) deserve the admiration of the underwriter for the ability to deliver music without the need of computers or sund enhancers. The result is feeling that one is in contact with nature and enjoying life without the complications of a society that loses itself in the mundane.

Vanessa Lively gives such results since she challenges humanity to be itself by being friendly, helpful, and contributing to humanity. The result is the feeling of being at peace and in harmony internally as well as externally. 

Vanessa Lively is one of the living examples of how music has become part of the globalization process without commercialism. The globalization process that the underwriter talks about is how Vanessa Lively has been able to unite the people of the world under the banner of great and down to earth music.

It is for this reason that Vanessa Lively will be remembered in the history of world music for eternity while the current musical fad will have been consigned to the dustbin of history.
