| Maria
de Barros and her band in a Special 12th Season Opener Concert and Dance at White's of Westport |
|||
| Saturday, Sept 11, 2004 - $20 | |||
|
Maria de Barros was born in Senegal but her creative and ancestral home is nearby Cabo Verde. These coastal islands are the cultural crossroads of the three continents bordering the Atlantic. The islands are an historic melting pot of African, Argentinean, Portuguese, and Cuban music, popularized worldwide by de Barrosí famous godmother, Cesaria Evora. de Barros gives traditional Cabo Verdean music a sensuous, effervescently fresh interpretation, with plaintive mornas, coladeiras, and rhythmic, upbeat boleros and sambas drenched as deeply by her rich, soulful voice as her islands are by the sun and sea.
