Ben L'oncle Soul: Juana is Totally into His Soul Music!- Juana Esta Enamorada De Su Musica Soul!

ENG. So i have to confess that with the new facebook I have become quite a “gossiper," in my defense it is impossible not to check what your friends are doing if you are getting instant feed all the time! And yes I am obsessed with facebook and I check it constantly from my iPhone, Blackberry and iPad (yeah this is another post I have to do: my obsession for electronics) so that makes it even worse... Nevertheless, sometimes this gossiping results in great discoveries like the one I want to share with you today:Ben L'oncle Soul! Last week I saw a link to this singer and let me just say his voice and music is just magnifique!!!!

Benjamin Duterde, known artistically as  Ben l’once soul is a soul singer and writer. He is 27 years old,  hot and successful just like Juana likes her boys! His signature look is the bow tie, (which I find quite sexy), and that is how he got his artistic name since his friends use to call him uncle ben from the Uncle Ben rice brand! His mom transmited him her love for Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin so his love for soul music and for rhythm and blues is no surprise… He got to be known through the wonderful world of the Internet and social networks and that is how the French Motown got to sign him in! He is very much known for his cover singles, like the ones on his album Soul Wash. Loving his version of the song Sympathique, an original from Pink Martini:

 

But he also has great songs written by himself in the album named after him: Ben l’Oncle Soul. My favorite song so far is: Soulman.

 

He sings in French, English and even Spanish, basically Juana's ideal world! And I am so into him right now that I even got tickets for his next gig in Milan next month on Dec 11!  So yes I have to confess I am gossiper, but who cares? What a great discovery! Juana is loving his retro soul music all the way! This is another cover Seven Nations Army.
