Pedro Lima Maguidala

Vinyl LP pressing. Pedro Lima was certainly the most iconic singer from Sao Tomé. On Maguidala which was recorded in 1985, you will hear the same team of killer musicians that had been playing together for 20 years by that time. The magnificent ear of his faithful solo guitarist Leopoldino Silva provides heavenly improvisations, embellishing backing vocals and solid Soukouss inspired phrases of 2nd guitarist Pety-Zorro, while the rest of the team delivers intricate rhythms and delightful choirs. Beautifully balanced between two crazy dancing Puxas, and two delicate Rumbas to soothe your soul, all of nearly 10 minutes each; the Maguidala LP is a true masterpiece, so hard to find and reaching crazy figures nowadays for a decent copy.
