| What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). |

| Aconteceu / Ana Moura | |
|
Ana Moura is a fadista, a performer of fado, a style of
Portoguese folk music which has been likened to Spanish
flamenco at least in its local significance. It is largely
confined to Lisbon and the university town of Coimbra, both of which
I've visited (briefly), sadly without experiencing fado. But better
late than never; it's a style of music that gets under your skin, at
least as Ana Moura performs it. And in a musical world of ever
greater homogeneity, there's pleasure in hearing something you
don't hear every day. Unless you live in Lisbon or Coimbra,
I suppose.
