Named for the Madre de Deus neighborhood in Lisbon, the  award-winning ensembleMadredeushas  performed the haunting Portuguese musical genre known asfadoall  over the globe. With the classical guitarists Jose Peixoto and Fernando  Judice, keyboardist Carlos Maria Trindade, and  keyboardist/guitarist/producer Pedro Ayres Magalhaes, Madredeus has  expanded the musical horizons of Portugal's national music without  sacrificing its beautiful, Moorish-descended sound. The Dark Angel  vocals of Teresa Salgueiro provide the right Iberian seasoning on the  CD's 16 tracks. From the philosophical lines of "Anseio" and the  hypnotic harmonics of "Ecos na Cathedral" to the jazzy basslines of  "Afinal--A Minha Cancao," Madredeus makes timeless and timeful music.--Eugene Holley, Jr.
