Free Music Review: Lura!!
Hit: 4 Stars
I purchased this CD based on the reviews & the music samples. But when I 1st listened to it I wasn't quite feeling it. I think because since she's young I was expecting her style to be like Sara Tavares. But as I kept listening to it, I started to enjoy her singing, her style and the music. NOW I very much like it & totally love #9 Galanton, love it, love it, love it! I'll have Galanton on repeat forever. I really like #5 As-Agua & #10 Pensa Dret these 2 will be on repeat too. I also like #12 too great music. And I will be purchasing her 1st CD too!
I think she's very talented...she has to be, to be background singer to Cesaria Evora, she's moved on doing her own think & I'm impressed. To me she's a younger livelier sounding version of Cesaria Evora, but all her own style. I wish I can see her in concert; I'd love to see her dancing. Galanton makes me want to get up & dance to.
I am of Cape Verdean descent (all 4 of my grandparents) & I try to listen to OUR music & support OUR talented musical artist, even though I do not understand what it's saying, I was never taught OUR language when I was young. But I feel OUR music and I'm proud to be a Cape Verdean/American. It's great, even though they are born in Portugal to Cape Verdean parents (specking of Sara Tavares too) they keep their Cape Verdean heritage alive.
M'Bem di Fora Poster
Fans of Cesaria Evora have been kept in short commons for some years by a relative dearth of new material and emerging talent. But Lura, who was born in Portugal of Cape Verdean parents, is clearly a contender for latter's throne. The beautiful young singer describes herself as a country girl and as such, is more interested in rural styles like the funana, bataku and the European, colonial-based mazurka than in the more urban morna, a barroom blues associated with the elder diva. Her songs, many of them self-composed, deal with small-town realities like a mother's advice to her son in hard times, an unplanned pregnancy, uninhibited holiday celebrations and other tales that might well be discussed on a neighbor's door-step. This is not to say that she is a narrow-minded provincial or hide-bound traditionalist; her arrangements are paragons of acoustic elegance, owing as much to R&B, Argentinean tango, post-Tropicalia Brazilian pop and French chanson as hometown firesides. Her voice, a clear mezzo-soprano-to-alto, ranges from girlish to smoky but as her material tends toward upbeat rhythms, it is her sun-drenched, precisely calibrated melodic sense and crackerjack phrasing that anchors each tune. The title track, a frenetic hip-swinger sung as a duet with Zeco di Nha Reinalda, could make a stone dance. --Christina RodenInternational Music CDs
