The lyrics are written in Cape-Verdean Creole, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Rather than venturing into any confusing fusion of musical styles from different parts of the world, Djiki wrote songs based on a variety of ethnic musical traditions, like someone who has been drinking from the sources, creating an album of stunning variety that makes the listener wonder how can the same person write songs with such a clear cut separation of international styles and flavors. With these ten beautiful songs, some of which incite us to dance, while some invite us to quite listening in romantic settings, Djiki has established himself as a gifted world music songwriter with talent to impress and satisfy the most demanding of music listeners. His beautiful and warm voice, combined with an amazing versatility, lift us to the enjoyment of his songs as to make us replay them and explore their richness of sound and poetry.Thu, 08 Jan 2009 19:54:04 -0600http://djiki.linktvstore.org/#album_85004
