5.0 out of 5 stars Boy Ge Mendes is a Poet, March 12, 2002

If you love jazz and the beauty of Cape Verdean music, you will be in heaven. Mendes also works with other musical influences. But none of it is contrived; he makes it work. As an American of Cape Verdean descent, but with strong ties to Cape Verde and its culture, I feel as if he is writing for me--for those of us who live in two worlds, the children of the Cape Verdean diaspora. And, at the same time, his work, like all great work, will speak to everyone. Enjoy!

This review is from: Noite De Morabeza (Audio CD)

Everyone that comes over I've turned them onto my Noite De Morabeza CD...everyone loves it young and old. Agua is my favorite song. Boy Ge Mendes has a jazzy sensual style of singing to Latin, jazzy, blues and African music all rapped up in one. I'm Cape Verdean-American and I'm just getting into Cape Verdean music, ever since my niece gave me Cesaria Evora's Sao Vicente CD for Christmas yr 2000. Now I look for Cape Verdean music. I love Boy Ge Mendes, I would love to see him in concert here in the U.S.
