Identidade formed in the early 2000s with musicians from Angola, Cape Verde, and Portugal. Their song 'Estou a Te Esperar' became a kind of anthem for listeners who connected with its sense of longing. The band's sound draws from traditional African rhythms, Cape Verdean mornas, and Portuguese fado.
Their lineup includes lead vocalist Selma Uamusse, multi-instrumentalist Alcino Tavares, and percussionist Jorge Tavares. They've released albums like 'Identidade' in 2005, 'Luz do Mundo' in 2009, and 'Terra Mãe' in 2015. Other songs like 'Mais Um Segundo' and 'Todo Tempo do Mundo' show their range within that Lusophone musical space.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
