1 - The wonderful Cesaria Evora, from Cape Verde. This song was working on me when I wrote "Club Saudade," which can be found at www.horrorworld.org until the end of this month. A beautiful song of loss and still-longing. Tom (Comment this)

2 - Beautiful indeed...with no need to know the language to be moved by it. Reminds me a lot of Gypsy music. Actually, I've been listening to the soundtrack for "Everything is Illuminated" and a number of the tunes have the same "feeiing" as the song you posted. Strange how some things work out, isn't it? --Trish (Comment this)

3 - Thanks, Trish, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cesaria is a beautiful singer and her albums are well worth having. I don't know much about Gypsy music, but the superb guitar-playing in this song makes me think you're exactly right. Tom (Comment this)
