The Atlantic Ocean forms an ever-present connecting thread. \\r\u003cbr\u003eIf the album gives a large place to semba, - a fact clearly reflected in Tonokenu, a song in the purest tradition of Bonga\\u2019s roots, Recados de Fora, also provides an opportunity to remember some of the wonderful people who had an impact on the singer's career. For instance, Odji Maguado by B. Leza rekindles the flames of Bonga's affection for the Cape Verde islands, a love that began at his first recording sessions in Rotterdam in 1972 when he played with musicians from the archipelago for the album Angola 72. It is also a tribute to his dear friend Cesaria Evora, who added it to her own repertoire. Then Banza R\\xe9my recalls his long friendship with Remy Kolpa-Kopoul, a French journalist who left us too soon, an unforgettable voice and a great connoisseur of Brazilian music. Bonga brings him back to life with an old theme by songsmith Z\\xe9 do Norte: Sodade, Meu Bem, Sodade, which was sung before by Maria Beth\\xe2nia, Nana Caymmi and Nazar\\xe9 Pereira. The Angolan master's version is enhanced by a searing Portuguese guitar accompaniment.\u003cp\u003e\\xc1gua Raz 2:32 (Bonga)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTonokenu 3:25 (Bonga)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBanza R\\xe9my 4:16 (Bonga)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNgo Kuivu 4:14 (Bonga)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSodade, Meu Bem, Sodade 4:06 (Z\\xe9 do Norte)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecados De Fora 3:32 (Bonga)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEspalha 3:01 (Bonga)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOdji Maguado 2:38 (B.
