Free Music Notes for Pirate's Choice
Free Music Review: great great music
Hit: 5 Stars
I was born in the Cape Verde Islands which is close to Senegal, I am on my late thirties, I am a music afficionado and I was surprise to never had heard about this band before. I found out about this band while researching the best genres of music on on BMG music club.In fact the lirics on some the music on Pirates Choice sounds like the dialect I speak. I agree with the other reviewers... Why this guys are not world famous? It is hard to explain how good these guys are...just buy the album. I have around 600 cds, all kind of music and Orchestra Baobab CD's are the ones I would not let anybody borrow. It is like a treasure to me.Free Music Review: Some Additional Information
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd has been reissued as a double cd (and unfortunately with new cover art - I really liked the old picture of a baobab tree). Other songs from about the same time (1982, I think) have been added. This recording sounds its age, but the music is definitely world-class.Free Music Review: Unbeatable
Hit: 5 Stars
The other reviewers have covered the bases -- and they are not exaggerating, that's why I'm writing, to re-affirm how pure, beautiful, but also invigorating, romantic, and powerful this album is. It's ideal for summertime, or when you want to feel that warmth in wintertime. It's the kind of CD you put on for someone you have over to your house and they stop talking after about 10 seconds and ask "what is this?" It's the perfect mixture of sweet and strong, upbeat and mellow. And any day now people are going to start sampling Pirate's Choice into their DJ mixes, I only hope I beat them to it. Long live the best album of all time (after Paul's Boutique, that is).Free Music Review: Africa swings!
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording is the ultimate proof that Africa and Africans invented rhythm. Eight songs (six different ones and two alternate takes) swing right into your heart, and into your head. I am lucky enough to understand both French and Spanish, so I got a fair idea of what these songs are about, but lyrics are hardly the point. It's the music that wraps its' arms around you and never lets go. The guitar player on this CD, Bartholom?e Atisso, is really one of the great and deserves to be world famous. I hope he comes across these humble lines sometime. You're my hero, Mr. Atisso! I have never heard anyone play as intense, note for note just pouring from his heart and his guitar. Songs, vocals, saxophone, guitar, rhythm... it all fully interlocks on this legendary recording. Everyone reading this, already in posession of this CD... see if you can find the title 'On verra ?a', also by Orchestra Baobab. Maybe even better...Free Music Review: A Classic that you should have
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the essential records of all time. I have recommened this record to all my friends and everyone who hears it loves it. You should have it too! It contains brilliant solo guitar, sax, and vocal performances that float and soar in and out of a mesmerising rhythmic fusion of the players.
