Bitori - BITORI - Legend Of Funana [CD]

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. Compact Disc (CD) + digital album. 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.
