Bitori – Legend Of Funana – LP

Details

In 1997, a quiet, unassuming man of 59 years old named Victor Tavares – better know as Bitori – walks into a studio for the very first time to record a masterpiece which many Cabo Verdean consider to be the best Funana? album ever made. Built around a formidable rhythm section, formed of drummer Grace Evora and bass player Danilo Tavares, “Bitori Nha Bibinha” was recorded. The recording catapulted Chando Graciosa to stardom, making him Cabo Verde’s No.1 interpreter of Funana. Analog Africa is proud to contribute to the worldwide promotion of Funana – the once forbidden sound of the Cabo Verde archipelago – by releasing a worldwide re-issue of Bitori and Chando Graciosa’s legendary recording. Includes unlimited streaming of Legend Of Funana (The Forbidden Music of The Cape Verde Islands) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
