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

Every time I play this CD and friends are around, they stop in the middle of conversation to ask who it is, to see the CD cover, to ask questions about the artists, etc. Without fail, they leave with the CD, promising to return it. I'm on #5. Even if you don't understand the words (and I don't), the spirit and emotion is so accessible. Don't buy this as proof of your musically eclectic tastes; buy it because you're an adult and you appreciate that rare ability of master artists to commuicate across language and culture.
