cd cover Maria Salgado, Uxia and Rasha
La sal de la Vida
$17.99

The record label says:
La sal de la vida, three singers –Uxía, María Salgado and Rasha – seek to celebrate the possibility of grouping together very different ways of coming close to singing and celebrate mutual understanding and the complicity of musicians and performers as intrinsic forms of popular expression.

Thus, la sal de la vida is a vital chant to diversity: Sudanese singer Rasha, who also plays derbuka, ponderosa and maracas on this CD, brings some Arabian spice. Her first CD entitled Sudaniyat is absolutely gorgeous, wrote folk roots. Uxía is the foremost female singer from Galicia. Both have hit Top Ten positions in the European World Music charts with their respective releases on Intuition Nubenegra.

Castilian María Salgado shows a natural inclination for two way chants, guajiras, peteneras and habaneras especially, as well as for boleros and fados.

The flamenco guitar of Xesús Pimentel from Galicia serves as an integrating element.

The material performed by the female trio and Pimentel includes mainly traditionals, some of them dating back to the 13th century.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
