Cesaria Evora passes…
December 18, 2011
One of my all time favorites, Cape Verdean singer Césaria Evora died yesterday. Her voice is beautiful and often meet people at events who share the love of her music. There's really nothing else like it. Favorite album is Cafe Atlantico, amazing from start to finish, can pick out any track they are all great.
Vieux Farka Toure – Wonda Guay
June 20, 2011
Picked up a copy of Vieux Farka Toure’s The Secret by Six Degrees Records over the weekend. Overall another solid album with beautiful guitar work and some nice collaborations with Derek Trucks and John Scofield. I like his music as is, the collaboration with Dave Matthews felt a little flat, favorite tracks are Wonda Guay, The Secret and Aigna. Pop matters has a great write up on the album.
