Music of Cape Verde – Lura
She sings the music of Cape Verde, an island off the west coast of Africa which declared independence from Portugal in 1975. 
Singing both in Portuguese, and in the language of her small country, Lura mixes some of the musical traditions, like “Morna”, with a more contemporary, urban sound. Different from the better known tragic, emotional Portuguese “Fado” songs, the music from the Cape Verde interior catches you up in its smooth, jazz-like rhythms.
“Di Kopu ku Alma” (Of Body & Soul)
“M’Bern di Fora” (I come From the Country)
