Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Cape Verdean Boy Gé Mendes has made eight albums, but Lagoa is his first introduction to U.S. audiences. His light, dusky vocals are laid over gentle tracks whose simplicity belay the solid grooves they contain. Moving in a Brazilian/acoustic-Africa axis, he displays a very sensual authority over his material, most of which is self-penned. Ballads and light dance beats coalesce together in a totally harmonious environment where the African and Portuguese meet in perfect counterpoint. Like much of the music from Cape Verde, Lagoa is--deliciously--both sunny and sad. Reflection and passion are intertwined under timeless island skies, carried by a warm trade wind whose history hints at the reasons for the cosmopolitan appeal of Lagoa. --Derek Rath

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreamy, sweet, gentle, GREAT, November 15, 2001
By 
Ippy the Cat (Canberra Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lagoa (Audio CD)
I am not normally keen on sweet gentle music. But this music is just so sweet, so gentle, and so healing; yet at the same time, so accomplished and rich. I can think of few people who would not enjoy the music of this little-known Cap Verde artist. The guitar moves along with gentle authority, and it is like lying in a river, being healed and carried to new and lovely lands. As a radio DJ, one of the best albums I have ever heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars My man Boy Ge Mendes...what can I say, January 5, 2004
This review is from: Lagoa (Audio CD)
I received this CD as a Christmas gift this year from a friend that I've turned him onto Boy Ge Mendes. I love this CD #5 Lagoa and #7 Pampario are my favorite songs. I love this CD just as much as the Noite de Morabeza CD. I love this man's style...What can I say, I'll say it again...I would love to see him in concert.
