Guineau Bissau


Just for a change of pace, here's the b-side of the first ever record released by a singer from Guineau Bissau. It's a tune called 'Na' by Djorçon (Ernesto Dabó), recorded in Portugal in 1973 (the A-side was called 'M'Ba Bolama').

This sounds very like the wistfully longing morna style popular in the Cabo Verde Islands, which are of course also Lusophone. The earliest Cape Verdean tracks were also recorded in Europe. Nice track.
