Belgian DJ and tastemaker Lefto announces his latest compilation album titled The Beauty is Inside on BBE Music. Eclectic sounds from all genres and continents make up the 19 jewels on The Beauty Is Inside, which Lefto deftly combines with his incomparable taste and in-depth musical knowledge

Lefto not only pays tribute to some unsung heroes of the past, such as Ethiopian singer Alemayehu Eshete, South African singer and actress Patience Africa and Spanish composer Pedro Ruy-Blas of the seventies fusion band Dolores, but also looks to the future, featuring young soul and electronic artists, including D. C.'s Dreamcastmoe, Pasadena's Qur'an Shaheed, Regal86 from Monterrey, Antwerp's Abrahamblue and Elisa Bee from Milan, to name a few

The album also features an appearance by the paladin of the current jazz renaissance Makaya McCraven and even a track by Lefto himself. The Beauty is Inside is a compilation of my own tracks (which I personally love) and tracks by friends who also happen to be great artists," says Lefto.
