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!

if listening to the music that will grab your heart, bring tears of joy, and make you think of the melancoly that every day of our lifes brings to us is your thing then this is it. tiered of organized vacations. book your next trip to the archipelago of music (no i'm not a travel agent).
