"A Live recording that demonstrates why Cape Verdean Carmen Souza has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting talents emerging in the field of "World Music" in recent years.
"London Acoustic Set" collects 12 tracks from her albums "Ess ê nha Cape Verde" (2005),"Truth" (2008) and "Protected" (2010), recorded during concerts at the Green Note in London and Liverpool Philharmonic Hall .
The interaction between Carmen Souza on acoustic guitar and voice, and Theo Pas'cal on bass and percussion is astounding: Applying the lessons of modern jazz, the duo work their original compositions, to fit the small form, and take the liberty and flexibility that this intimate set offers and demands. Improvisations of high artistic value are created around the personal voice of the singer, and confirm that Carmen Souza does not have to decide whether her music is jazz or "world music". Her style is just as unique as convincing and her Cape Verdean roots as evident as her desire to create a new language under the label of "world jazz".ZONA DE COMPRAS-SP
