Compelling Angolan singer/guitarist Waldemar Bastos lived in exile during his country's civil war, but his 2003 return inspired him to write and release "Renascence," a wonderful album that radiates romance and verve. Singing in Portuguese in a gently raspy, souful voice, Bastos croons of love and love for hsi country over skipping, buoyant African rhythms. Bastos appears at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Triple Door, 216 Union St., Seattle; $20-23 (206-838-4333, www.thetripledoor.net). 07/29/05
