And of course there is Jemanya (Salina must know her :-) ).<br />Thanks to Brazilian music I learned also an other word, a Portuguese one, which is my favourite foreign word: saudade. When pronounced in Brazilian-Portuguese it sounds like music in itself! And of course famous composers have used it in their lyrics. Also in Cape Verdian, late singer Cesária Evora sang a beautiful song 'Sodade'.<br />But I am loosing the theme - to stay in music, if I had found a xylophone card in time I would have sent it to you!
