4.0 out of 5 stars A trans-Atlantic exploration of Portuguese culture, December 5, 2001

This review is from: Lusofonia (Audio CD)

As the millenium unfolds, Brazilian samba superstar Martinho Da Vila explores the positive side of European colonial expansion with a pleasant, not-too-glitzy outing that celebrates the Lusophone dance music of Cape Verde, Mozambique, Brazil and provinces far and wide... This has a hefty dose of West African highlife and Caribbean soca mixed in with Da Vila's standard samba sound, as well as lotsa guest musicians that I've never heard of (one assumes they are from Portugal, Guinea-Bissau and the other countries involved here). Cool concept, and one of Da Vila's nicest recent records. If you don't listen too closely, the glossier touches of pop production probably won't get in the way too much.
