Decca Reviewed 2002-11-26 | ||
Little-known artists from Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique with music that combines African, Portuguese, and Brazilian rhythms, influences, and traditions. Read the notes & bios. One guy repairs radios because musicians can’t make a living in Cape Verde, and one (Ze Manel) now lives in Oakland. It’s all worth a play – honest. *1. Light and catchy w/sweet male vocals. 2. Gentle vocal harmonies, swaying strings. Nice. 3. Slower w/gorgeous, delicate fem. vox, romantic strings. *4. Swaying & lush w/some nice orchestral touches. 5. Cool instrumental for acoustic guitars, drums, scraper. *6. Nice strings, mid-tempo. A nice little dance. 7. Semba for vox, keyboards, drums, guitar. Nice. *8. Uncomplicated vox/chorus/strings/drum mix. Mid-tempo. *9. Cool, guitar-driving blend of vocal harmonies & perc. 10. Fem vox, kora, chorus. Mid-tempo. 11. Slow blend of vox, strings, horns, drums. Cool jazz touches. 12. Relaxed w/layers of percussion/guitars/vox. *13. Cuban-horns/perc a jazzy salsa feel. |
