Janita Salomé

A Cantar ao Sol (1983)

In this little known masterpiece of Euro-Berber folk music (a label I have just made up) Janita Salomé fuses South-Portuguese polyphonic chanting with North-African rhythms with astonishing results. Other records of interest from this artist include "Lavrar em Teu Peito" (1985), "Olho de Fogo" (1987), and his latest achievement, "Vinho dos Amantes" (2007). You don't want to miss this one, in spite of the lousy bit rate (128).
