O melhor cd de Lura!.......2007-07-22

Acqui a cançoes que sao lindas, Ela com certeza mudou um bocadinho o estilo da musica cabo verdiana, ela tem uma personalidade muito forte, ela è com certeza o futuro da musica cabo verdiana.
Os primeiros dois cd "nha vida" e "love" sao musica portuguesa commercial che se chama "zuco", mas com este cd ela descubre as sua raizes e assim ela consagrou-se com a nova estrella da musica africana.

Great cabo verdean musician with a style of her own.......2007-01-11

I'm a native Cabo Verdean and truly enjoyed this CD. Lura has a style of her own. It's great for listening or dancing. If you are a "true" Cabo Verdean, you will definately do more than tap your feet. I highly recommed this CD.

Lura viva Africa.......2006-08-01

This is an absolute must have. I had never been exposed to West African music but this CD got me hooked. I am from Southern Africa and thats all I knew music wise but I must say, African musicians are under rated, they have a lot to offer but the world hasn't taken notice yet. Lura does justice to the beauty of African music on this CD.

Lura Lures Listeners .......2006-07-31

This is enchanting music from beginning to end. Although I had read about Lura for awhile, I only recently purchased this cd. I was immediately drawn to the beauty of this music; although it is labeled as Cape Verdean, it embraces a variety of rhythms and genres. Lura's energetic voice and her interpretive style at times, remind me of a blend of Margareth Menezes and Yusa. Lura has her own unique and powerful presence which is accompanied by outstanding musicians. The guitar work is particularly impressive, while the violin and accordian keep the music fresh, interesting, and mesmerizing. Five tracks on this cd were written by the late Orlando Pantera, and I am grateful to be exposed to his work through Lura's music. Although every Pantera song is incredible, I tend to favor the more rhythmic songs, "Batuku," "Vazulina," and "Raboita di Rubon Manel," Lura's vocals are extroadinary on these tracks. Lura should also be recognized for her songwriting, especially on "Oh Naia". To take the next step of the Lura experience, listeners must check out the dvd included in this cd package. The Lura concert on this dvd not only gives listeners a visual understanding of Lura's talent; her highly dynamic and expressive performance radiates with soul and passion...luring audiences at any venue, in any language,

Curiosity is an amazing propeller in this world we live in..........2006-04-03

I was more than skeptical for reasons I'll never know, to actually purchase this cd. I heard a few clips, and just couldn't get into it. I thought, "this is just another afro-latin/tropicalismo cd. I have a few of these, why bother?" By the time I heard the clip for #7, I reluctantly handed over the credit card, because I have been known to buy albums just for one song. #7 stood out at once, and I could feel myself relax. Okay, I'll buy it just for this song.

I never dissappoint myself, neither do the artists I place a mustard seed of faith in.

This incredibly dynamic and strangely spiritual album is one of the best I have ever bought. Her voice is so authentic, but like rich, dark chocolate that can only be savored. And its all worth the time. This album is pleasure at its best. Perfect for bright warm days at the beach or a cookout, yet romantic and sensual for a dinner for two...or a dinner party for eight. Its wonderful to put the children to sleep, and upbeat to dance until the sun returns.

I listen with awe, fascination, inspiration, honor...she is a professional if I ever heard one. This is one album you will never regret purchasing. It has the right measurements of spice, jazz, island, afro, asiatic and tropical influences that make a complete music experience a reality.

If you are a fan of world music, or good music in general, once you get this album, you'll wished you had heard about it sooner.

One of the best albums ever!!!.......2004-10-07

A friend of mine gave me a copy of this album, which she discovered in Cape Verde. I was blown away! Lura has such an amazing voice and sings with incredible passion, soul, and energy. She combines the haunting style of the Cape Verdean morna and Portuguese fado with more upbeat coladera and Brazilian flavor. For all of you "world music" fans, I predict that this beautiful singer will be the next big thing...on par with a Cesaria Evora or Bebel Gilberto. A fascinating blend of sodade and sabor!
