Cape Verde music reviews

IF SUSANA BACA NEVER MADE ANOTHER ALBUM AFTER THIS ONE, HER PLACE IN
MUSICAL HISTORY WOULD BE ASSURED. NEVER HAVE I HEARD SUCH BEAUTIFUL,
MEANINGFUL, AND RELEVANT MUSIC! HER VOICE IS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL, AND
HER BAND DOESNT MISS A BEAT, THE SENSATION WAS AS IF I HAD FINALLY
RECONNECTED W/MY AFRICAN ROOTS. AND WHAT BEAUTIFUL ROOTS THEY ARE. SHE
FIRST CAME TO MY ATTENTION THROUGH LINK TV(CHANNEL 375 FOR DIRECT TV).
THEY HAD A 1 HR BIO SKETCH OF HER LIFE AND MUSIC AND TOUCHED BREIFLY ON
THE HISTORY OF AFRO PERUVIANS. HER POETIC BEAUTY AND HER CONNECTEDNESS
TO HER HISTORY MADE ME SO PROUD OF WHO WE ARE AS A PEOPLE, TO HAVE USED
OUR MUSIC TO TRANSCEND THE BRUTAL REALITY OF OUR KIDNAPPING,
BRAINWASHING, AND ENSLAVEMENT. THIS ALBUM IS INFUSED WITH DEEP AFRICAN
SPIRITUAL MEDICINE, AND I RECOMMEND THAT YOU LISTEN TO THIS ONE WHEN THE
WORLD DENYS YOUR RIGHT TO BE (DAILY). I DONT EVEN SPEAK THE LANGUAGE AND
YET I AM TRANSPORTED BY A STRENGTH AND BEAUTY THAT I HAVE NEVER
IMAGINED! THIS ONE'S A KEEPER. SUSANA, WE LOVE YOU! YOU ARE IN OUR
PRAYERS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

If you like Madredeus, Oktober Project, Vas, Vox and other similar world music fussions this CD is definitely for you. Mexican vocalist Claudia Martinez has a beautiful and expressive voice which is framed in awesome new age musical atmospheres creating a very unique interpretation singing in ancestral Mexican languages. Listen this CD, you won't regret.
