"petit pays, je t'aime beaucoup... petit, petit, je l'aime beaucoup. oi tonte sodade... sodade, sodade. oi tonte sodade, sodade sem fim... "
wow. what a voice! you can link to that song here: petit pays. it is a mixture of french and portuguese in a song of morna-- soulful, deep-down kind of genre music from cabo verde (cape verde.)
that was the first song i have listened of the cape verde-born singer cesaria evora. and, let me tell you, i am hooked since. and so will you be, if you aren't already!
muito amor!
