Travels in Lusomania
My second CD is a collection of traditional Portuguese songs and tunes celebrating instruments that the Portuguese have encountered, transported or assimilated over many centuries of travels. Bagpipes, square drums, ukuleles, guitars, berimbau and mbira all combine to create a pallet of sounds identifiable with the Portuguese Diaspora and the Lusophone world. One of my recent creations, the Electro Sintir is also featured. Travels in Lusomania will take you from Trás-os-Montes to Africa, from the Azores to Brazil.
