Madredeus - Movimento
Interesting group, interesting sound. Liking some of the tracks I heard here, I read up on them and realize that they are heavily influenced by pre-Columbus troubadour ballads and more obscure traditions. Seeing as I don't speak Portuguese, their lyrics are generally hard to discern but the themes are universal so I can appreciate the vibe. Not an album that will knock anyone's socks off, but they have great chemistry as a folk ensemble.
