Celeste Rodrigues - Art of the Portuguese Fado - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Celeste Rodrigues - Vacation in Portugal [COMPACT DISCS] date 05/30/2012

The Cape Verde singer, Cesária Évora, is treated to a host of remixers, treating her vocals with great reverence. It takes an open mind to hear the InchQueen of MornaInch, nicknamed the InchBarefoot DivaInch, remixed and pro-tooled by today's hot remix stars. The great opening InchPetit PaysInch by Chateau Flight comes in mesmerizingly different beat with a hypnotic background trance. Carl Craig takes InchAngolaInch back to Africa with a minimal and percussion-heavy mix. The real club-stormer is Francois K's take on the final track InchSangue de Beirona,Inch a strong example of how to move Evora's voice onto the main floor, where she belongs. In 2013 Belgian singer Stromae recorded InchAve CesariaInch, a track that honours Évora, one of his favorite artists.
