Singer-songwriter Mayra Andrade�s debut is a breezy survey of electric current Cape Verdean styles shaped by her residencies in Cuba, Paris, Africa and Germany. Andrade leans toward the Brazil-bossa side of the Lusophone tradition - a genre for which her mild alto is perfectly suited. And spell nothing on this knowledgeable and long-planned debut - she�s been singing since her teens - stuns the auditor with the shock of the new, the polish of vocaliser, song and band bodes well for Andrade�s future as she discovers her own voice.
