CD Reviews

A monster musician who builds his own instruments

WorldDiscoveries.Net | Petaluma, California | 09/01/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Rufino Almeida (a.k.a. Bau)'s all-instrumental CAPE VERDEAN MELANCHOLY presents a monster musician who builds his own instruments, has mastered several styles of music from swing and jazz fusion to morna (the melancholic music of the Cape Verte islands of Africa), and who plays guitar, violin and cavaquinho (known in Hawaii as the ukulele) with equal skill."

Wonderful wonderful music

Anthony Cooper | Louisville, KY United States | 09/12/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bau's greatest hits is recommended for anyone interested in instrumental music, whether it be jazz or anything else. The songs aren't jazz, since the song structures are fairly tight. The songs are always interesting, sometimes haunting, sometimes happy, and I usually feel better after listening to them. Bau makes the guitars and violins he plays, but I like the way he sometimes distorts the violin sound."

Relaxing energizing blend

Murrell R. Morgan | brookhaven, new york United States | 12/16/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is a superb blend of jazz, classical Portuguese guitar, African syncopation rhythims-by all means lsiten and enjoy! Song #6 "Toy" is my favorite."
