Nancy Vieira – Manha Florida (Lusafrica, 2018)
Manhã Florida is the fifth album by Nancy Vieira, one of the finest performers in the Cape Verdean music scene. Although born in Guinea-Bissau to Cape Verdean parents and currently living in Portugal, Nancy’s music has deep Cape Verdean roots.
Nancy Vieira has a captivating voice that captures the essence of longing and joy of life. The songs by leading Cape Verdean songwriters and the musical arrangements with exquisite guitars and cavaquinho have a similar flavor to the sound developed by the late Cesaria Evora.
The album was produced by acclaimed guitarist Teofilo Chantre and features a large cast of Cape Verdean musicians.
