Eis o mais novo vídeo da Carmen Souza com a participação to Theo Pas'cal. É um lindo cover da canção imortal da Edith Piaf, Sous le ciel de Paris, interpretado de uma forma lusófona e caboverdeana em particular.

Beautiful Music in Portuguese
There are some places that politics doesn’t belong, and this site tries to be one of them, even though Lusophone music tends to have strong political connotations (Azagaia, MCK, the strong musical independent movement in Angola and other Portuguese ex-colonies in the ‘60s and 70s). But sometimes it’s hard to be impervious to such an affront to democracy and good governance. During the ongoing CAN championship Angola’s state party approved a new constitution which strips us of the right to directly elect our next president in a free and fair election; rather, the president will be elected during the legislative election process where whoever is the first MP on the list of possible MPs of the winning party is automatically chosen president.
Amanhã é a minha partida para Luanda.
Tomorrow I leave for Luanda.
Breezy, Brazilian, and jazzy, Bïa Krieger's music is made for those balmy summer nights that only seem to happen once in a very long while. This Canadian-based but French-raised Brazilian singer’s tracks have a low key, sultry smooth jazz quality, perfect for a calm, lounge atmospehere. And then she is quadrilingual...some of her songs start in Portuguese and end in French (Eu Vi /J’ai Vu), whicle others are in English or Italian. Bïa is also notorious for singing Chico Buarque’s bossa nova renditions in flawless French, and also does covers for her favorite Italian musician Gianmaria Testa and her favorite French artist Henri Salvador. So tracks like Je N'aime Pas are the best of both worlds, really - sexy French crooning to a bossa nova beat. Both songs featured here are from her cd Carmin, put out in 2003 by the same people who backed Monica Freire.
