Background notes
Archive material and source history
Hernany Lisardo was born in Mindelo, São Vicente, Cabo Verde in 1956. His music draws from the mix of African, European, and Brazilian sounds that shape the islands' culture. He started performing locally, working through the limited opportunities that came with making music there at the time.
His song 'Folia Encantada' became widely known, though its lyrics drew some criticism from conservative listeners in Cabo Verde. Lisardo saw his work as reflecting ordinary life. Another track, 'Preciso de Você,' also appears among his most recognized songs.
He released albums like 'Retrato' in 1980, 'Povo de Sol' in 1983, and 'Mestiçagem' in 2001. His music has been used in films and television, and some of his songs have been translated into other languages.
