CD ReviewsA curious mix flsousa | Lisbon, Portugal | 05/25/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Now, what in heaven has passed with composer-singer Vitorino Salomé, to make a record with a group of old-time performers from Cuba. Vitorino himself explains that, when he was a boy in Alentejo ( a beautiful part of Southern Portugal, just above the Algarve ), this was the music that his father and friends, all amateur musicians, used to play. So this is, for this once " combat song" singer, and later one of the best and most popular traditional music singers of my Country, a return to childhood. And, if you are able to listen to Cuban music with a slight ( and quite nice, I might add ) portuguese accent, you will find that Vitorino transforms some not-so-well-known Cuban tunes in true gems of the highest quality.Just listen to " Capullito de Alelí " and " Contigo en la distancia ", it is certainly not Buena Vista style, but is surely as pleasant to listen to."
