Format:Audio CD
Waldemar Bastos is from Angola, he sings in Portuguese, he plays the acoustic guitar 'Spanish style', and his music is sprinkled with latin musical phrases.
Whilst it is very common in Africa to hear African music with influences from South America (e.g. La Rumba Congolaise from the Congo and Mbalax from Senegal), it is quite rare to hear Latin influences direct from the former Latin colonial powers, not leastly as there were very few Spanish and Portuguese colonies in Africa. This is why this CD is particularly fascinating.
Although many of the tracks reflect much of the grief and sorrow experienced by Angola over the last 20 years, there are also some very joyful and uplifting tracks.(e.g. tracks 5 & 9)
After hearing this CD, one can't help thinking that notwithstanding the severe ecomomic barriers that restrict the creation & development of African musicians, how many brilliant African musicians have been denied us due to war and social turmoil ?
Great production that does justice to the beauty of the music, by David Byrne (Talking Heads).
This CD is a unique musical experience, treasure it!
