This review is from: Populair Music from Guinea (Audio CD)

While spending time in Mozambique, I heard the beat of the beat of the nation. In clubs, the people rocked to Brazillian artists, music from Portugal and Zaire! They pack clubs like the Mini Golf in Maputo wall to wall and rock until the morning! Unfortunately, commercial local popular Portugese music is absent and what is there is on very poor audio tapes. I heard that the people of distant Guineau Bissau were holding the torch for Lusafone Africa and, this CD proves this theory right. Tabanka Djaz is the Kanda Bongo Man of Portugese Africa. The Portugese language blends with the beat in sysnergystic manner. Justino Delgado is more latin than African. Some of the tunes are "Lounge Liazrd" tunes, (heavy music synthesizers and special effects) but what the hell--that is what you hear in Africa too! That is what the locals think you want to hear. This album is well worth it just for the two artists: Tabanka Djaz and Rui Sangara. I only hope we can get more popular music from Mozambique, Angola and Cape Verde and also more of the individual artists!
