Yes, Sfar, you are correct. Perhaps plaintive would describe some other fado and passion singers, but not her. I think I meant to say lilting. I will be checking out "Flor de Piel" tonite. Cheers. Good that you noted the sound quality, too.

Boy . . I have been hearing some wonderful music from round the world lately. I'm wondering if you have.
Here a few very satisfying ones-
Marta Topferova- La Marea (World Village/harmonia mundi usa). A Czech lass who sings in Spanish with a nice rhythmic ensemble of players behind her.
Christina Branco- Ulisses (Decca). A plaintive little Portugese fado singer. Excellent recording quality, too.
Habib Koite- Afriki (Cumbancha). Sweet and soulful in any language.
Vas- Feast Of Silence (Narada). The most moving Azam Ali collaboration of the several I've heard.
Lhasa De Sela- La Llorona (Atlantic/Wea). South of the border torch.
Descriptions of these recordings and the artists can be read on Amazon but the samples don't do them justice.
