Good's Gonna Happen
The name Sahra Indio must be studied first before pronouncing it correctly - Sah-Ra. Sahra, means resting place in Arabic and Indio is Spanish for people or Indian and was given to Sahra by a devotee of Guru Mai in California.
Sahra was born in Philadelphia to a musically complex family that included the sweet jazz of now legendary cousin, Clifford Brown who was always fostering other musicians in the family. Sahra's grandfather insisted that she and her brother play an instrument. Sahra did embrace the Jazz, pop and soul of her familys home.
Fortunately for her fans, the ear shattering music of Bob Marley and the Wailers sparked a new interest in music for Sahra and she began to explore the musical talent that ran through her blood. Sahra would catch a fire on the active volcanic island of Hawaii, in the Jahringa Reggae Band. Jahringa an Australian Aboriginal word for dreamtime was a place where Sahra found the voice to sing about the beauty and the mysteries of life.
Sahra's signature song is her debut CDs title track ‘Goods Gonna Happen’, (Olumeye Records 2003). It received international merit for the positive promise it gives listeners, “good's gonna happen so, don’t give up, goods gonna come to you my love”, and won the "Reggae Song of the Year" award in the Unisong International Song Contest in 2004.
