The gods are Cabo Verdian astronauts and they are ready to wash the dance floor with your tears of joy! Everything about this record is UNBELIEVABLE - these tunes groove HARD, the melodies will stay long in the ear (if you understand Portuguese, the lyrics are super great), and these musicians RIP on their instruments like there's no tomorrow. Get this gem of a release, it fucking rules. Cosmographer
