Thought the Dulce Pontes CD was a bit over produced and her voice got a little thin on occasion, but the Martirio CD is flippin magnificent save for occasional over statement by her young guitar player on the date. Otherwise awfully good with sound you don't get very often. My squeeze commented on it from the other room.
World Music new
Boy . . I have been hearing some wonderful music from round the world lately. I'm wondering if you have.
Here a few very satisfying ones-
Marta Topferova- La Marea (World Village/harmonia mundi usa). A Czech lass who sings in Spanish with a nice rhythmic ensemble of players behind her.
Christina Branco- Ulisses (Decca). A plaintive little Portugese fado singer. Excellent recording quality, too.
Habib Koite- Afriki (Cumbancha). Sweet and soulful in any language.
Vas- Feast Of Silence (Narada). The most moving Azam Ali collaboration of the several I've heard.
Lhasa De Sela- La Llorona (Atlantic/Wea). South of the border torch.
Descriptions of these recordings and the artists can be read on Amazon but the samples don't do them justice.
