A Cantar Ao Sol by Janita Salomé, a representative Portuguese singer/performer of the 1970s. As described as Mediterranean Folk / Arabic Portuguese, this work is unique in that it incorporates melodies and rhythmic fluctuations derived from Arabic music into traditional Portuguese folk music. The melodies, reminiscent of the echoes of Islamic culture etched into the Iberian Peninsula, and the unforced vocals create a dry sunlight and a quiet sense of ecstasy. It possesses a natural intersection of indigenous folk music and a contemporary Balearic listening sensibility. An obscure masterpiece that can be called a crystallization of Mediterranean imagination, lurking on the periphery of Portuguese music.
