Cape Verdean singer Mayra Andrade is arguably the front-runner of the many talents that have emerged from Cape Verde over the years.

Her vividly-hued, multi-layered music provides a warm and adventurous unpredictability as she sings in Cape Verdean creole, English and Portuguese. Mayra’s pop spans the world’s entire vast sweep from Western romanticism, Southern sensuality, domestic reggae and African. It is topical, tropical, traveling pop that, in the words of Mayra, is “music that reflected my life”.

For this show, Mayra Andrade, accompanied by her compatriot Djodje Almeida on acoustic guitar, invites us to rediscover songs from across her discography, from Navega (2006) to Manga (2019). Mayra gives us the opportunity to listen once more to some of her most beautiful songs, all written and composed by Mayra.
