Shirley Caesar Honors Charleston Victims on Anniversary of Church Shooting
Legendary gospel singer Shirley Caesar, hailed by many as the "First Lady of Gospel" music, will honor the nine victims of last year's Charleston, South Carolina church shooting with a performance this weekend at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church. Vacation Time! Enjoy a warm 'Tropical Infinito' Courtesy Antonio Adolfo, AAM Music [REVIEW]
Last year, Antonio Adolfo's 'Tema' was an alternative to actually traveling to Rio de Janeiro and soaking up Brazilian samba. This year, his 'Tropical Infinito' (AAM Music), with his new octet, pinpoints an early 1960s samba groove revitalized and reimagined but keeping the essential DNA that makes this music so earthy, swaying, satisfying and sensual.
