This review is from: Xe Povo (Audio CD)

If you haven't heard semba and other rhythms from Angola, you haven't lived. Paulo Flores is one of its best artists. His slightly raspy soulful voice complements the melodic percussive laden tracks on this cd. There's a few mournful ballads but that makes the heat on the other tracks even hotter. You'll hear Brasilian samba in here too. The label's Brasilian and I believe that semba has some affinity to samba. Most of all you'll hear a strong voice of African music at its best. He has quite a back catalog that's hard to find but worth the search. This is his first studio album available on Amazon. It would be a fine thing for the music world if they could locate and sell his back catalog. A true original from the source. Buy it and turn it up!
