Quoted as being “mystically percussive” The New Yorker, Lori “Loire” Cotler is a remarkable force in the both the worlds of jazz and rhythmic vocals.

She is a master of a wide range of vocal styles with specific work in scat, pop, and improvisation.

Loire is also noted at being an authority in Konnakol- a South Indian drum language that requires both rapid fire articulation and musicality, which she demonstrates here.
