Cabo Verde-Various - The Spirit Of Cape Verde

The music of Cape Verde came to the forefront of the world music scene when Cesaria Evora's deeply touching treatment of the minor key mornas struck a chord of longing with Western audiences. This collection of songs includes styles like Tabanca, Funana,Coladeira, and Batuco. That such a broad pastiche of color could come from these minute islands is a testament to the collective spirit of a great nation.
