thank you jolie fleur for pointing me towards the work of mayra andrade;
she performs here on a side street in sao paolo with maryana aydar
this clip makes me so happy, because sometimes i just long to sit down in the middle of the street &
start singing...

i KNEW you were going to post this clip!
don't you love their dirty feet? not exactly trying to distance herself from a certain other famous cape verdean singer...
mayra has everything i love in a woman's voice - floatiness, gravel, grit, weariness, warmth, malaise, and huge, soft, sloping curves.
this clip and the other i put up, the acoustic one, are my favourites. in every other song i can find her voice is swallowed and smothered by too much overcooked world music cheese. i like her like this. just her. no shoes. plane sounds overhead.
ah su,
you always know how to sum things up perfectly!
exactly. *what she said*
