The alluring sounds of Cape Verde-native, Lura, echo a sense of genuine emotion and vibrant musicianship. Lura represents today's best voice in CapeVerdean rural music. A variety of jazzy, folk, and island rhythms encompass the true essence of M'bem di fora. Lura meshes traditional, rural music with contemporary arrangements without losing sight of her Cape Verdean roots. A majority of the tracks have upbeat, danceable rhythms and positive vocals reflecting the island life. M'bem di flora is a unique and highly recommended album.  03/01/07 >> go there
