Mayra Andrade

Cape Verdean creole, English and Portuguese, Mayra Andrade carry us away in a warm, adventurous and unpredictable movement. Mayra’s pop spans the world’s entire vast sweep from Western romanticism to Southern sensuality, and domestic reggae to African 3/4 time. It is topical, tropical, traveling pop.Her aim was simply to make «music that reflected my life».

Mayra’s next album Manga, in Creole and Portuguese, brings together the sounds of modern African music from the continent (it was recorded in Abidjan  and Paris) with her Cape-Verdean roots. It features Kim Alves, the famous Cape-Verdean multi instrumentalist, along with a new generation of West African musicians, with the producer2B from Ivory Coast overlooking it all.
