5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent collection, May 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Soul of Cape Verde (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful CD, danceable,elegant, soulful. 74 minutes of music spread over 19 tracks. Perfect for the beach or long slow hot afternoons turning into nights. I listen to this in traffic and it never fails to put me in a better mood. Most of the artists on the album are female and if you like Cesaria Evora, Susanna Baca or Omara Portuondo than you will dig this.

If you can find this, do get it. It's a great, ethnic, unusual collection of Cape Verde. Voices, drum, instruments have a great endearing quality!

Various Artists "THE SOUL OF CAPE VERDE"
(Tinder Production, 1996)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the best world music compilations ever, and certainly one the best -- if not THE best collections of music from Cape Verde. One gorgeous song after another... a real must-have record, worth tracking down. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To World Music)
