Carmen Souza & Band
“Port’Inglês”-Tour

The Portuguese composer, singer, and instrumentalist Carmen Souza has undoubtedly become one of the most important world music artists and sought-after jazz singers in recent years.
In her new album Port‘Inglês’ (English harbor), Souza sings the untold stories of the British occupation in Cape Verde in her unique style. The clarity and directness of the timbre of her voice conveys an immediate sense of liveliness.
As described in detail by the Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung in a concert review: “Souza flexibly meanders between clear melodies and scat capers, dances and jumps through octaves, executing surprising, rapid twists.”
Carmen Souza's voice features a variety of structured registers that explore the nuances of her expressive spectrum. MA Creative Producer and composer Theo Pascal says: "It was a priority to organically realize the acoustic 'colors' of each instrument, without extensive digital processing or effects being necessary. The use of analog and other digital recording techniques reflects the historical character of the stories told here." The music of Cape Verde is, like the island’s inhabitants themselves, of mixed or hybrid cultural descent. Souza’s and Pascal’s celebrated sound signature, which mixes jazz with more traditional music/rhythms such as Funana, Contradança, or Morna, once again reflects the multifaceted hybridity of Cape Verde itself.
