Nancy Vieira - Amor Di Mundo - LIVE at Afrikafestival Hertme 2014

Performance - 5 July 2014 The clear, cool tones of Nancy Vieira’s voice bring a fresh wave of influences to the classic morna style of Cape Verde. Born in Bissau, she grew op in Cape Verde’s capital Praia, before moving to Portugal where her father - a former musician who had once played with Cesária Évora but who had relinquished all to become an activist in the independence struggle – was the Cape Verdean ambassador. While studying at Lisbon University she won a song contest, resulting in her first album in 1996. True to her relaxed style, she took her own time to make a career, only turning professional with her third release, Lus, in 2007. Since then she has toured internationally with her high-quality band and her new album, No Amá, has won her acclaim as Cape Verde’s finest voice today.
