Album Description Having been a musician and performer all your life and to release your debut album at the age of 75 must be an extraordinary experience. Known as ?a man of a thousand stories? and ?The Grand Old Man of Marrabenta?, Dilon Djindji has done just that. Fresh from the critical acclaim of Mabulu?s albums and the success of the recent tours, Dilon has produced an innovative album that places marrabenta in a previously unexplored acoustic context. Full of feeling and passion, this album demonstrates Dilon?s enthusiasm and unbounded energy for music and life. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsDilon Djindji's still got the groove Trudi Bean | Canberra, Australia | 06/04/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This wonderful CD captures the rhythm and energy in Dilon Djindji's music. I was lucky enough to see him perform in Maputo, Mozamabique in September 2005 and the CD captures the effortless groove of his performance - and even though he's now 78, he sings (and dances) with the energy of a man half his age. This is a must have CD for everyone into African music." Sweet, unassuming African ballads Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 01/05/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Mozambiquan old-timer Dilon Djindi has a subtle grace and melodic softness that is similar to Madagascar's Dama and D'Gary, a plainspoken acoustic sound that will appeal to folks who like their world music sweet and unpretentious. Amazingly, this is Djindi's first album, although he was 75 years old and has been performing professionally for many decades when this set was recorded. Well, better late than never! I don't think anyone will complain about the wait once they hear this sweet set of gentle acoustic tunes."
