Pretaluz (1998)
Album
Released
Produced by Arto Lindsay for David Byrne's Luaka Bop label, Pretaluz captures the Angolan singer-songwriter at his most transcendent. Bastos weaves delicate acoustic melodies with heartfelt laments about war and reconciliation, blending Angolan semba, Portuguese fado inflections and gentle Afro-pop guitars into luminous pieces such as Sofrimento and Kurandeira.
