Cool tunes out of this world
By Gerald M. Gay

We are at that time of year again when Tucson begins to swelter.

Right now, it's a challenge getting ice cream home from the store still frozen and even harder to hold your steering wheel without oven mitts. By this time next month, the city should be well into meltdown mode with no hope in sight until the fall. 

As the summer temps continues to rise, cool music is a must.

Here are some world artist titles guaranteed to refresh:

Lura- M'Bem di fora
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 spotiight with her fifth release, "M'bem di Fora," out since March on Times Square Records. The young vocaiist brings a brighter, more upbeat sound than that of the Cape's current matriarch, Cesaria Evora. 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 Engiish translations in the liner notes. 06/22/07
