No Balanço do Mar/Catarina dos Santos -

No Balanço do Mar is an acoustic sounding album that meshes African, Mediterranean, Arabic and Brazilian sounds.

According to Catarina, her inspiration for the CD's sound came about because, "I started to link rhythms originating in countries that have a story in common - the story of the Portuguese culture and language spreading from Africa to Brazil, and how the Portuguese influence permanently weaved its way into these cultures. After reflecting on these places - such as Angola, Cape Verde and North East Brazil, the melodies I wrote belong to all these places, for they are a synthesis of their common roots. I collaborated with talented artists authentic to each region, from Cape Verde and Angola to Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's a record that links us all, but in the end it is my own original music, so it also carries a unique universe of sounds."
