"there is world music and world music"
There is also world music one would ideally like to find a new name for,because the term "world music"has been so often missused in the past.Or even better,not to give it any name at all!No label,for this music is beyond all labels and also counter to labelling,a balanced and rythmical merging of cultures to the point where it is almost difficult to discern what is coming together here.This is proof of the timeless of what is taken place here.Hats off to Valdinho who is always capable of bringing a variety of musical currents together in a seemingly effortless way.
