Portuguese-Cape Verdean Carmen Souza took to the stage at Cineteatro Louletano last Saturday for a concert integrated into the final presentation of the MED\u201925 Festival, and is the first confirmation for the 2026 Edition.<\/p>\n

In front of a full house and with the presence of the large Cape Verdean community living in Loul\u00e9, the artist brought mornas, funan\u00e1s, more jazzy sounds, blues and even Zeca Afonso.<\/p>\n

In this show, Souza performed several themes from \u201cPort\u2019 Ingl\u00eas\u201d, her most recent work, born from her master\u2019s thesis, and which tells the forgotten stories of the marks left on Cape Verdean culture by the British presence in the country. Songs in Portuguese, Creole and English that personify this historical period. The album, nominated for the German Record Critics Awards in the Best World Music Album category, investigates themes of cultural identity, resistance, colonialism and decolonization, highlighting the connection between Cape Verde and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

In the year in which Cape Verde is the \u2018Guest Country\u2019 of the MED Festival, Carmen Souza had the honor of being the first artist to bring music from this archipelago in the Atlantic. And she did it in the best way possible, with an enthusiastic audience, dancing at times, or singing. In the last song, a reinterpretation of \u201cVenham mais Cinco\u201d, by Zeca Afonso, a choir of voices joined Carmen Souza, without a doubt a strong name in Cape Verde and World Music.<\/p>\n

\u2018See you in 2026!\u2019, she said at the end of the show. A \u2018see you soon\u2019 to the public of Loul\u00e9 who will be able to see her again, in June 2026, in the Historic Area of \u200b\u200bLoul\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
