CARMEN SOUZA DUO

Carmen Souza was born in Lisbon and learned to sing in the church choir. She has vigorously maintained a connection with her Cape Verdean roots and thus she sings in Portuguese, as well as in Creole, the native tongue of her parents. Her sensual voice is full of ‘sodade’, the feeling of yearning and desire. The acoustic music, a mix of blues, jazz and bossa, was composed by renowned Portuguese bass player Theo Pas’cal. ‘A flexible, agile voice that cuts through all registers effortlessly’ (de Volkskrant).
