“The most dynamic performer in World Music today.”
–The Times (London)
Lura brings the lilting Afro-Latin rhythms of the Cape Verde Islands, made famous by Cesaria Evora, to entirely new audiences. She draws on the islands’ pungent blend of trade route cultures that have created a unique musical tradition embracing French Afro-pop, Brazilian rhythms, and earthy traditional African music. $34, CMA members $32.
