Titina
Canta B. Leza
A Landmark Cape Verdian album, re-mastered and re-packaged to the celebrate the 25th Anniversary of its first release...In the cosy Creole town of Mindelo in Cape Verde, Titina used to wake each morning to follow the smell of fresh corn bread and coffee which would lead her to her neightbouring house and to the bewitching chords of its owner, legendary Cape Verdian composer, poet and activist B. Leza (1905-1958). Prodcued and arranged by Paulino Vieira who also produced and arranged for Cesaria Evora, tha album Titina Canta B. Laza was immediately applauded by her fellow Cape Vaerdians and sold out many times over upon its initial release and then again it was re-issued upon CD. Now we hope this definitive edition, prepared by Astral Music and Titina, with be with us for a long time to come and help seal the gap that many years of it being unavailable have created.
