Cool Tunes, CD Review >>
-by Gerald Gay
Good for: Your next evening house party with your open-minded friends and neighbors.
Next in line for the "queen of Cape Verde music" throne, Lura returns to the spotlight with her fifth release, "M'bem di Fora," out since March on Times Square Records. The young vocalist brings a brighter, more upbeat sound than that of the Cape's current matriarch, Cesária Évora. Lura's confident and vocally entrancing delivery intoxicates as she pays homage to her rural roots swinging through festive and fluffy batuka melodies and smooth, romantic ballads not unlike our Latin boleros. Lyrics appear with English translations in the liner notes. 06/22/07 >> go there
