Valerie Tribord CD discography A nice album of what's essentially Afro-pop at the instrumental core, with some extraordinarily slick Portuguese vocals laid over the top.

Valerie Tribord music CDs Teofilo Chantre is probably best known for the songs of his that the incomparable Césaria Evora has recorded. But he's also a very gifted performer, as Azulando (in actual fact his fourth -- or possibly fifth -- album) makes clear.
