Album Reviews

Review: 

With the open heart and clear eyes of an exile, Waldemar Bastos writes songs that beautifully entwine elements of African guitar pop - from Zaire to South Africa - with Brazilian and Portuguese influences. Sweet melodies whisper through the heat of sub-Saharan grooves, a longing for reconciliation soothes a righteous anger... rage and calm, innocence and experience, darkness and light... Blacklight... PretaLuz.
