José Afonso: Deep Cuts
Apple Music
Years have passed since the death of Portuguese folk crusader José Afonso, but the power of his message and the magnificence of his acoustic melodies haven't dimmed. As his lovely evocation of "Maria" and the hopeful idealism of "Utopia" prove, even the singer-songwriter's less-celebrated tracks sparkle with poetic lyrics, sublime guitar skills and never-back-down defiance.
