A singer who blends island rhythms with modern pop, from early festival days to solo albums like 'Hora di Bai.'
For a quick sense of her style, try 'Hipérbole Amor' or 'Pura Ilusão.' They've got that Cape Verdean groove but feel current.
She came up singing at local festivals in São Vicente, then joined the band Electra before going solo. Her 1999 debut 'Hora di Bai' had the single 'Nha Vida' that caught on back home. Songs like 'Hipérbole Amor' and 'Sentimento Intruso' mix Cape Verdean sounds with a clean pop feel, and she's worked with names like Cesária Évora.
She started with Electra in her early twenties, then put out her first album 'Hora di Bai' in 1999. Later records like 'Odjoodiado' in 2006 and 'Kruzeta' in 2013 kept that blend of rhythms and pop going. She's performed with a steady band including guitarist Ivanildo Brito and has spoken about social topics in her work.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
