Kavita Shah: Cape Verdean Blues

Yes, she only does one song Horace Silver songbook, but vocalist Kavita Shah also teams with guitarist Bau, percussionist Mirocca Paris and a collection of guests for some fragrant folk ideas. Her voice and delivery is warm and lilting, dancing over the percussion of “Angola” and looking good with nylon support on the bluesy “Flor D Nha Esperanca”. She’s upbeat on the bossa “ Joia” and gypsy flavored “Amor Di Mundo” and serenades on the lovely “Situacoes Triangulers”. There’s a Jobim feel tio “Flor De L is” and  Maal em Hassan Benjaafar plays a mean tambourine on the dancing “Chaki Ben” . And yes, her take of Silver’s “Cape Verdean Blues” teamed with Paris is an energetic. An island of riches.
