"A Cantar Ao Sol" by Janita Salomé, one of Portugal's leading singers and performers of the 1970s. Described as Mediterranean Folk/Arabic Portuguese, this unique work combines Portuguese folk with the melodic sense and rhythmic fluctuations of Arabic music. The melodies, evocative of the reverberations of Islamic culture imprinted on the Iberian Peninsula, and her effortless vocals create a sense of dry sunshine and quiet euphoria. The indigenous character of folk music intersects naturally with contemporary Balearic listening sensibilities. An obscure masterpiece, lurking on the fringes of Portuguese music, it's a crystallization of the Mediterranean imagination.
