Saf Buxy welcomes the modern day female Mozart, Ladyva. Ladyva started playing the piano when she was 14, inspired by the music of the great masters of Boogie Woogie. Only two years later she began performing, together with her brother Pascal Silva. Various TV appearances in Switzerland and Europe followed. She has also been successful in her second homeland, the Dominican Republic, where she appeared on over 30 popular TV shows. In 2009 Ladyva released her first album. She has been invited by promotor Rocco Buonvino to perform at Jerry Lee Lewis’ 80th Birthday/Farewell U.K. Tour in London and Glasgow in September 2015. On October 16th she participated at the famous "The Late Late Show" on RTÉ One in Ireland. In December she performed again at the Cigar Awards 2016 with guests like Charlie Sheen and Kelsey Grammer. In September 2017 Ladyva receives the award as 'Best Boogie Woogie Pianist 2017' at the Boisdale Music Awards hosted by Jools Holland. Now she just released her 3rd Album '8 To The Bar'.

She plays piano, she sings, she writes songs, she edits her videos—what doesn’t she do? She’s so incredible, and so beautiful, who could help but love her?!🥰🎹😍

You mentioned Little Richard—he’s good, so is Fats Domino, but what about Johnny Johnson, Chuck Berry’s blues/boogie pianist? (Of course, not as good as Ladyva!)
