Music Monday: “Di Korpu Ku Alma” by Lura

Di Korpu Ku Alma (2006)

If you are a fan of world music, or good music in general, once you get this album, you’ll wished you had heard about it sooner. Lura’s first album, Di Korpu Ku Alma, has the right measurements of traditional Cape Verdean ‘funana’, soul, jazz, afro, asiatic and tropical influences that put her in the glorious ranks of veterans such as Ceasaria Evora.

Listen to ‘Batuku’ and make sure you check out Lura’s more recent albums.
