Playlist for 10.29.2009, also Amandio Cabral and Raquel Bitton visit—Emmanuel Nado

Cape Verdean music legend Amandio Cabral was guest this evening on Africa Mix. Mr. Cabral is one of the most revered Morna composers in his country. Cape Verde is located some 600 km off the coast of Senegal in West Africa. During the second half of the 20th century, constant catastrophic droughts brought a significant hardship, and many of its people emigrated around the world. As a result of this mass exodus, there are more Cape Verdeans living abroad than in Cape Verde. It is this history of bittersweet separation and longing that has painted most of Cape Verde’s music culture. Amandio Cabral is the composer and lyricist of the most famous morna, "Sodade," sung by Cesaria Evora. Cabral is the composer and singer who first took Cape Verde music to Europe and beyond. By bringing the morna and other Cape Verdean music to worldwide audiences, he paved the way for Cesaria Evora, and many Cape Verdean musicians who follow him and sing his songs today. Amandio was accompanied by French Jazz singer Raquel Bitton.
