12 songs in French, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Italian.
"Presqu'ile" - French for peninsula, or more literally: "almost an island"
Almost-Island music...... Peninsular Music.....
We are surrounded on three sides by the hope of freedom, but also the dangers of the deep.... From here we can contemplate and dream, retreat if we must, to the strength of good tradition, the solid mainland...
We can also jump in and swim, set sail, and sometimes drown in the cosmic undertow..... the musician as amorous adventurer, as scientist seeker of primal sound, as prophet eking out the song of God; as heroic cultural diplomat, as crab-walking poet-fool and crank, the musician as child playing in the waves with his friends....
Do good things. Think good thoughts. Thrive in adversity...

author: whitI'm thinking Caetano Veloso . . . Jacques Brel . . . Phil Ochs . . . Piazolla and Joao Gilberto all rolled into one. This music is fresh, electic, real, divine. Thank you Angus for channeling it for us - or whatever you did to be so talented. Why aren't you famous yet?
A perfectly thin slice of musical meat from a wordly deli
author: Horace PersivalWorld music that refuses to be defined, precisely because it is so unique in interpretation and experience. Honest and coming from a deeply autobiographical soul's musical journey.
superb!
author: marie sondomAmazing music, the kind you want to listen again and again. I recommend it highly!
