The music and voices are beautiful! The dancing is brilliant, love it :) but the clip obviously has a deeper message ;)

valerie walsh said...

Gracie said...

asperezas said...

Hahahahaha!!!!
LOL
I'm still dancing dear Gracie!
:D
This band of blind men is from my adoption land Angola, Africa.
This song is included in their 1st album "yosso ikuma" released in 2007.
Until 2 years ago they had nothing at all in internet except some info from a friend of mine and a african music topic from my self.

Hi Pammy!
:-)
I'm "guily" of the page below
http://sz.com.sapo.pt/sz.html
At time the sound quality couldn't be better for 100 songs...
:/

'course there are many things I don't enjoy but they had to be included.
Oh I "was" farapuso"
:D

valerie walsh said...

WOW! very wonderful :)
this could take some time :D
but i saw Farapuso's eye :)

valerie walsh said...

btw: what does Farapuso mean?

Doodlestreet said...

Hi Peras!
Hey, I like that a lot! :D

asperezas said...

ops... I wrote "guily" instead guilty...
I forgot the songs are 200, not 100.
There are some lyrics we put just listetening the songs and some rare (at time) videoclips.

"Farapuso" cames from my need of a nick to Racing Car forums. I saw so many incredible certainties that I had to make a half incognito nick tosay something.
Farapuso is "parafuso" (screw)
:D
with F and P changed.
Anyway when I was young some friends called me "Fara" and FaraPeras
;-)

valerie walsh said...

very funny! i had to look up parafuso as I have never heard that work either? very good play on words ;)

valerie walsh said...

i mean word :)

asperezas said...

:D
Well... Then I changed to asperezas and I think I told you what it means...
:D
It's not far anyway...
:D

valerie walsh said...

asperezas said...

Yes you are!

note: blogger is working bad with comments again...
:-/

valerie walsh said...

fb is weirding out too! :)

valerie walsh said...

i hope you play more music like this :) everyone loves it!

asperezas said...

I hope so Val!
But clips of good music of this kind are almost unexistent.
This one per example appeared 3 years after...

Note: I think blogger is alright now...
