Time Out Chicago, CD Review >>
Waldemar Bastos
World Music Fest
Saturday 17 at 8pm
This singer and acoustic guitarist's life story could inspire a novel about the wayward fates of creative individuals caught up in political turmoil and the uncertainties of exile. Bastos fled his native Angola in 1982 as the postco- lonial state fell into a lengthy civil war. He hopscotched from Portugal to Berlin to Brazil, then back to Portugal, where he put down roots in Lisbon. You can hear the traces of Bastos's journeys in his fusion of African, Spanish and Brazilian rhythms - which all circle back, ul timately, to Angola. 09/15/05
