Marcos - Saudade (2022)

When you think you already know everything that has been done in Cape Verdean music during the last 5 decades you'll get surprised with this one. 'Saudade,' a self-released LP from 1984, recorded in a studio in Portugal, with Paulino Vieira in the line-up along with other well-known CV heroes from the '80s such as Chibanga on the drums, this is maybe the ultimate discovery of the Cape Verdean funaná music. Not much is known about this fantastic record or about the obscure Marcos. The 6 tracks recorded on the LP are pure killer funaná, no synthetizer, only keyboards, guitars, drums and bass. Till date only a couple of copies known exist. First time reissued now on Comets Coming. Limited to 100 copies on red vinyl.
