Traditional Music and Dance of the Cape Verde Islands

featuring
Ederlindo & Maria Tavares

The Cape Verde Island were sighted by the Portuguese in 1456, by the end of the fifteenth century. Located 400 miles off the coast of Senegal, the Cape Verde Island became a navigational pivot. Cape Verde gained its independent from Portugal in 1975. Cape Verdeans trace their origins to the Portuguese settlers who intermingled with people brought from the West African mainland. America's more than 350.000 Cape Verdeans probably make up the largest single group of Americans who can trace their roots directly to Africa.

Ederlindo Tavares
Ederlindo Tavares was born on Cabo Verde Island and came to the US bringing with him the ferinho or metal rasp and the musical traditions which he inherited from his family. An accomplished percussionist whose repertoire includes the traditional Cape Verde Funana, Batuku, Tabanka, Morna and Coladera.

Maria Tavares
Veteran Afro-Cape Verdean dance instructor, Maria Tavares, has been dancing, strongly rooted in her West African/Cape Verdean heritage for her entire life.

In Cape Verde she performed with various groups, and through this contact with the music, Maria became very aware of her African-Cape Verdean origins and cultural connections. In New England she has performed with RhumbAfrica and many other African artists. Maria brings a lifetime of love and expertise to her community, which has long awaited the contributions of its African population.

Réagánta is Irish for "easy going".

Regina Delaney (harp, vocals, and stepdance)
Claudia Altemus (whistle, storytelling, vocals)
Eugene Durkee (guitar, vocals)

Blending the harp, whistle, and guitar, Réagánta plays Traditional Irish jigs, reels, hornpipes, and slow airs with skill, beauty and a sense of fun. Their love and respect for the Traditions is evident as their solo and vocals harmonies infuse the ballads they sing with intense emotion. But they are equally at home with the humorous song, often teaching the chorus to the audience. Claudia keeps young and old riveted to their seats with stories that are as meaningful and fun today as they were many years ago. Regina and Claudia often combine the stories with music, song, and dance. The percussive sound of Step Dancing can be heard when Regina leaves the harp and dons her Step dancing shoes. And, she happily teaches and calls Ceili dances if the venue permits. Réagánta is at home in sessions, in concert performances, and small intimate venues.

Réagánta has two CDs, "Nollaig" and "Cup O Tea" Members of Réagánta appear on Regina Delaneys solo CD "From These Hands" and on The New England Irish Harp Orchestras CD, "Live from the Portsmouth Athaeneum"

Steve Langone Group and Jim Repa's "Destinations" Ensemble

Steve Langone Group

Out of that seemingly unlikely hotbed of jazz, New Bedford, Mass., from Whaling City Sounds, comes another sharp-edged, straight ahead outing: Finders Keepers from The Steve Langone Group. ~Dan McClenaghan - All About Jazz

To the great wide jazz world, the name of drummer Steve Langone may be a new one, in which case the combustible, clearly conceived music on this disc will be a revelation. For those who have been listening in the Boston area for the past decade, the results will not be so surprising. Langone is the kind of musician whose talent is noticed when heard in any of the numerous ensembles with which he has performed, and whose range is just as obvious once you notice that he is one of the most active drummers in a variety of contexts. This is his debut as a leader, and it both summarizes the skills that have made him so successful and prophesizes an even brighter future& ~(Bob Blumenthal, liner notes for Finders Keepers)

Steve Langone Group features Steve's original compositions ...

Jim Repa - alto
Rick DiMuzio - tenor
Bruce Bartlett - guitar
Kevin Harris - piano
Jef Charland - bass
Steve Langone - drums

Jim Repa and the Destinations Ensemble

Saxophonist and flutist Jim Repa leads a 7-piece ensemble playing music from their recent CD Destinations. The group performs engaging jazz and world music drawn from influences around the globe. Jims original compositions are inspired by the sounds and sights of South Africa, the Caribbean, Brazil, France, Spain, the Middle East and the trails of New Hampshire. The fine ensemble is adept at navigating a variety of moods and rhythmic styles, and will take you on a memorable musical tour.

The ensemble features:
Jim Repa - alto sax, soprano sax, flute and alto flute
Ken Cervenka - trumpet and flugelhorn
Rick DiMuzio - tenor sax
John Pierce - trombone
