Description
Analog Africa presents a compilation of dancefloor grooves from Cabo Verde, revealing the mystery behind the island’s cosmic synth sound. Located 350 miles off the coast of Western Africa, Cabo Verde (or Cape Verde) is an island country that was first incorporated as an overseas department of Portugal in 1951 before later attaining independence in 1975. This collection captures a vital musical period during the late ’70s and early ’80s when the introduction of synthesizers facilitated the modernization of local rhythms such as Mornas, Coladeras and the highly-danceable music style called Funaná, which had been banned by the Portuguese colonial rulers until 1975 due to its sensuality.
Another winner from the Analog Africa camp…Highly Recommended!
