'THE FUNANA REVOLT IN 1990S CABO VERDE' - First various artists compilation of raw accordion-driven Funana music from Santiago Island, Cabo Verde. This compilation distills eight tracks from a short period in the late '90s when cherished pioneers, who risked everything give their proud culture a sound, got their one chance in a recording studio. Pour yourself a grog, Cabo Verde's local moonshine made from sugarcane crushed by bulls, imbibe responsibly, listen carefully, and dance recklessly. Cabo Verdean Funana music is a sibling of Colombian cumbia. Two artists on the album are currently touring regularly: Bitori and Ferro Gaita. Includes an in-depth back story about how Cabo Verde's first democratic election brought this music, isolated for most of its history to the rural areas, out of isolation. Compiled from rare albums recorded in the late '90s, each of the artists included did not record more than 1 album. The opening track is from an album that sold 40,000 copies in a country of just 400,000 people. Remastered by London's The Carvery to give the sound its original analog warmth. The CD comes in hardcover bookcase with a 20-page booklet TRACKS:1. Rei Di Tabanka - Ferro Gaita 2. Mulato Ferrera - Etalvinho Preta 3. Nha Boi - Tchota Suari E Chando Gracioso 4.
