SAB 001LP
|
Brothers Gerard Mendes (also known as Boy Ge Mendes) and Jean-Claude Mendes display the intriguing combination of Creole Portuguese-African polyrhythms, American boogie, and Brazilian samba; the duo became massive stars among the Cabo Verde diaspora. This LP includes the killer boogie anthem "Mitamiyo." Sabura is a new record label based in Lisbon, but its hearts and ears are firmly rooted in the world. Sabura believes that some of the most exciting present sounds come from the past, and digs deep into the musical legacy of Portuguese-speaking Africa. Its mission is simple: to give the most notable recordings of Lusophony a new life. Sabura couldn't start in a better way than with the reissue for the first time of two landmark LPs of Cape Verdean music.
