Elida Almeida \u00a0 – \u00a0Rubenstein Atrium \u00a0– \u00a0June 21, 2018<\/p>\n
Almeida and company are from the Cape Verde Islands, which is African more than anything else.\u00a0\u00a0That I find certain similarities in the musics of various African diaspora islands of the Caribbean (and now Atlantic) is thus no surprise.\u00a0\u00a0I confess, I’m not sufficiently immersed to tease out some of the distinctions that are surely there.\u00a0\u00a0In my defense, World Music has seemed to have made a tasty gumbo of it all, though perhaps less of a blend when all players are from the same place, as is true for this band.\u00a0\u00a0They seemed to be really impressed that someone would come to sketch them at work, yielding one of the highest gratitude ratings ever.\u00a0\u00a0I didn’t get Cruz right on the first attempt, so I started over, and the second, more successful try seemed to come out somehow less masculine.\u00a0\u00a0Only after the concert when I was getting the autographs did it become evident that she was a she!\u00a0\u00a0For me, an gratifying\u00a0\u00a0corroboration of my under the radar intuitive perception AND expressive abilities.<\/p>\n
