The music is wonderful and traditional. I enjoyed the funanna played. It reminded me of Santiago Island. It is a must to bring you to the traditions of rural Cape Verde.

The French Cultural Centre in Praia, Cape Verde has more than 800 hours of exclusive recordings of a great number of top quality artists from Cape Verde. Many of these have never made a recording on Cd, or they are only available on locally produced (and sold) records.

This double CD is but a small sample of the treasures this centre possesses. It focuses on the roots, showing a bit of the surprisingly rich and diversified musical traditions in this small country.
Someone should get Ocora, Radio France's production company, to speed up! We want more of this!
