Quoting an excerpt from their biography on MySpace and UBL:

“In 2006, the Mendes Brothers were recognized by the Prime Minister of Cape Verde with a “Medal of Merit” for their invaluable contribution to the music of Cape Verde, while Ramiro Mendes was awarded the “The Order Of Volcano”, the highest civilian medal, by the President of Cape Verde for his distinguished contribution to Cape Verdean music and culture.”

So, if you like the world music like Kanda Bongo Man, Salif Keita or Toots & the Maytalls, then this album will be the right one for you pleasure.

This 12-tracks album is generally pretty rhythmed, except for Kabu Verdi that is a great brazilian acoustic track that reminds the works of Toquinho’s best period.

Thanks to their margarita sound, we really like Pasadinha, Pekadu, Pisonha and Margarida. They are probably the most caribbean and brazilian tracks contained inside, both for rhythm and athmosphere.

But, taking an immaginary airplane from Caribbean to Africa, we have an exceptional african sound duo: Angolamania and Luanda. You will surely breath the warm air of Africa, you will feel the african sun on your skin and, damn, you will see all the african colors!
