CS Crosswinds Weekly, Lura Hails from Santiago, the southernmost island of Cape >>
La Escondida $21
Lura hails from Santiago, the southernmost island of Capa Verde and the one with the most African influences. She's slinky and sexy, and so is her music- moving from a slow bum to a lively Afro- Portuguese dance fest. Lura fronts a five- piece band featuring jazzy piano, rippling guitar and hip- shaking percussion. The interplay between the memebers of the band is stellar, while Lura sings through and over the music in Portuguese. This CD has immediate appeal of The Buena Vista Social Club, simultaneously exotic and familiar. __NC 11/30/05
