1975 - 1995: Independencia

My favorite along with Brazillian and fado, all sung in Portuguese.Angola and Guinea-Bissau are represented plus Cabo Verde, which like Jamaica and Ireland is a little island that has given the world some of its greatest music.

I lucked into this CD for free(!), and I am so glad. It introduced me to Cesaria Evora and other fabulous artists from these countries. The beats are infectious, the music often haunting and always interesting. It's still in regular rotation in my home. I recommend it highly!
