BOM DIA GLOBALISTAS!! please check out this masterpiece in cape verdean music, re-mastered and re-packaged to celebrate its 25th anniversary! In the cosy Creole town of Mindelo in Cape Verde, Titina used to wake each morning to follow the smell of fresh corn bread and coffee which would lead her to her neighbouring house and to the bewitching chords of its owner, legendary Cape Verdean composer, poet and activist B. Leza (1905 – 1958). Produced and arranged by Paulino Vieira who also produced and arranged for Cesaria Evora, the album ‘Titina Canta B. Leza’ was immediately applauded as a classic by her fellow Cape Verdeans and sold out many times over upon its initial release, and then again when it was re-issued upon CD. Now we hope this definitive edition, prepared by Astral Music in partnership with Titina, will be with us for a long time to come and help seal the gap that the many years of it being unavailable have created. Today it has been 25 years since Titina recorded these songs and like her music, the islands of Cape Verde are also becoming better known, not just for their sunny climate but because of icons such as B. Leza who gave them their sound. As these sounds made their way to seduce across the world, it is B. Leza who lead this great voyage and Titina who lent her voice to his magnetic and inspiring songs.
