Eclipse

Interpreter: Lura
Label: Lusafrica
Location: Portugal/Cape Verde

Following up her 2006 release ‘M'bem di Fora’, this is Lura’s fourth album, and once again delivers a charming overview of the music of Cape Verde. Personifying ‘sodade’, the trademarked Cape Verdean feeling of melancholy, she delivers thirteen amiable, acoustic tunes spanning coladera to funana.
