Vasco Martins compose une musique san âge , sans nationalité, sans emprunts non plus, sinon à un passé cap-verdien imaginaire…Danças de Câncer, don’t la légèreté d’orchestration, les subtilités harmoniques et les contrepoints rythmiques n’ont rien à envier aux impressionistes français. Comme du Ravel , ces danses sont légéres d’apparence, trés difficiles á exécuter…

Vasco Martins sait faire sonner un grand orchestre symphonique.Une découverte, en somme.

Vasco Martins is a talented keyboardist from Cape Verde…His release, Sublime Delight, is just that, i.e. sublime and delight…all ten songs have something to recommend them and they’re all either markedly or subtly different… Vasco’s strenghts includes his excelent sense of melody and composition, his judicious use of ambient sounds recorded in his island…I heartily recommended Sublime Deligth…this is warm, friendly, and(at times) romantic recording that I found myself enjoyng from the first listening.

(Bill Binkelman / Wind & Wire /USA)

::

«Some day I'de like to visit the Cape Verde Islands, which is an island chain off west coast of Africa. The reason? If the locale can inspire the music the likes of which is created by Vasco Martins, then it must be a quite palce, indeed. «Sublime Delight» is the aptly nameed title of Martins' CD…an already terrific album…

(Fred Puhan / Music for a New Age/ USA)
