FEITI€O CABOCLO

With her joyous stage persona and intoxicating blend of Amazonian, Afro-Brazilian and Caribbean rhythms, Dona Onete is one of 'world music's most entertaining recent success stories. Described by her manager as 'Grace Jones trapped in the body of Cesaria Evora', Onete's songs talk about the delights of seducing men, herbs that make your body 'shake' and her encounters with legends of the Amazon. Onete sings carimbó, an indigenous rhythm and dance from Pará, the state of Belém, influenced by both African and European traditions, and which forms the basis of the more famous lambada and other Caribbean rhythms. She recorded Feitiço Caboclo aged 73, and an international release from Mais Um Discos in 2014 saw critics fall immediately for this sassy, saucy and sexy septuagenarian - influential French magazine Les Inrocks made the album one of their top 5 'world' releases that year and rapturously received festival performances at Womad UK, Paris's Cabaret Sauvage, Portugal's FMM Sines followed in 2015. 01: Feitiço caboclo 02: Carimbó chamegado 03: Homenagem aos orixás 04: Jamburana 05: Moreno morenado 06: Balanço crioulo 07: Poder da seduç–o 08: Boi guitarreiro 09: Rio de lágrimas 10: Lua namoradeira 11: Meu louco desejo
