Happy Friday, errybody! I'm sorry that you haven't heard much from me this week, but I'm gonna make up for it with this Friday's chune: a world music feature. :o) I'm even posting it early, so no repeats of last week.
So the chune I'm flingin' today, Balancê by Sara Tavares, comes from another set of islands: Cape Verde, off Africa's western coast. It's a former Portuguese colony so that's the language of the song, although it may actually be in Criolo (creole of Portuguese and African language(s)).
Either way, I first discovered Sara in 2006 and her album of the same title is highly recommended! It's rather mellow and I think only one song is in English, but can be enjoyed regardless of understanding the lyrics. If I could describe her "vibe", it would be this: think Bob Marley and Enya having a lovechild and raising her in West Africa.
So with no further ado, please help yourselves to some Balancê [gotta luv the shout out to Bob Marley at 1:42!]
Welcome to my corner of the universe to share thoughts, inspirations, and questions that arise while on my journey for Jesus. My goal is to encourage, provoke and relate to others in the body of Christ but since I'm a young, single woman, a good bit of what I say will reflect that perspective. We're all in the same struggle but hopefully some of this Holy Hotness can edify (and entertain) us along the way.
