A celebration! Inspiring! Uplifting! Calming!

Lynne Allard - Worthing - England

I heard Carmen Souza on local radio last week and thought she was absolutely amazing.

Ricardo Alves - Portugal

I just have to say that this work of Carmen, produced by Theo Pascal its just amazing, profund, beutifull and snapshoting reality of african people.

A burning voice providing us with reasons to live …” that was the first quote I read on Lura when researching the young Portuguese/ Cape Verdean singer who seems to have shimmied on to the Lusaphone music scene, and now the world music stage

This album shows Lura putting her feet firmly in Cape Verde: singing in Creole, with heavy influences from her compatriots and the country’s musical traditions. Many of the tracks declare themselves as Cape Verdean — using the old batuque beat, rapped out by the washerwomen of Santiago on bundles of cloth held in their laps, or through the subject matter — emigration, tradition, life on the islands.
