Ainda - Lisbon Story Original Soundtrack, Madredeus

Product Description Madredeus (pronounced ma-drey-DEY-oush) formed in 1986 in Lisbon, Portugal; they visited North America for the first time this past summer to rave reviews and sold-out shows. Ainda is the follow-up to the acclaimed album O Espiritio Da Paz and is also the soundtrack to the film the Lisbon Story (released in Europe this year); the music was the talk of Cannes when the film showed last year. Servicing to NPR and World Music outlets; 2 videos by Wim Wenders (the film's director) for the tracks "Alfama" and "Ceu Da Mouraria." Amazon.com The gorgeous acoustic chamber music of this veteran Portuguese composer will make this soundtrack appeal to fans of director Wim Wenders, who is renowned for his impeccable musical taste and first-rate soundtracks. If this isn't the music of the spheres, it's a close approximation. --Jeff Bateman
