MY AFRICAN SONG BY MARIA VILLANUEVA

Elida Almeida - Kebrada (Lusafrica) - Cabo Verde

Kebrada  is the name of the region where Elida grew up as. Kebrada is an affirmation of the most hybrid African identity, and of the round-trip resonances that have so marked the sounds of the black Atlantic. In here, Elida Almeida is consolidated with a well-nourished proposal based on Cape Verdean rhythms such as batuque, funaná, coladera and tabanka delicately seasoned with Latin music. A catchy recipe both in his most danceable and festive hymns as in his most melancholic cuts, which is not exempt from social criticism.
