This 19-song compilation features a wide Variety of artists from this small but Influential Senegalese island off the coast. Opening With Cesaria Evora year and early tune, "Papa Joachim Paris," the album visits luminaries like Simentera, Paulino Vieira and Tito Paris and Introduces you to-many less deserving to famous names. Real Roots Come From The Mindel Band With A raw violin and a perpetual groove. Luis Morais's band is jazzy and fun. Voz de Cabo Verde are sweet and homey. The album closes With A live, lush, yet ragged "Lundum" by Vieira and Celina Pereira, perfect island slight tune of melody and lots of feeling. - Louis GibsonCommentsRuthann Tesler says... This is a wonderful CD, danceable,elegant, soulful. 74 minutes of music spread over 19 tracks.Perfect for the beach or long slow hot afternoons turning into nights.I listen to this in traffic and it never fails to put me in a better mood.Most of the artists on the album are female and if you like Cesaria Evora, Susanna Baca or Omara Portuondo than you will dig this.

I found this CD in a local record store where it was in the World Music section. In the past I have enjoyed music from Africa. The music on this CD was described as being sort of a synthesis of music from Africa, Portugal and Brazil. This is a valid description. The music is gorgeous. Some of the most innovative and easy to listen-to music that I've heard in awhile. The fact that I do not understand the lyrics (Portuguese) did not detract. One test as to whether a music CD is worth it is whether it is played often. And I have played thos one often. Posted on September 14, 2010 Marianela Gould says...
