Rolling Stone , Cd Review >>
Lura 3 1/2 stars
Di Korpu Ku Alma
Escondida
The Cape Verde islands' morna musical style, most notably exported by Cesaria Evora, combines African rhythms with Portuguese fados, sad tales of life and struggle. In Lura, Cape Verde has a beautiful face- and a steely, seductive voice- to represent its traditions. Her tunes are sunnier than fados, often integrating elements of R&B and funk. And her powerhouse vocals make even serious minded tracks like "Vazulina"- a rebuke of Africans who straighten the kink out of their hair- sound like love songs. 03/09/06 >> go there
