World Music: Lura, "Quebrod nem Djosa"
"The day before yesterday, the Devil tempted me...he wanted me to steal from someone else...I’m poor as a churchmouse." These days everyone is having hard times, and so a video like this is very timely. But despite its sad lyric, the video has a light touch, as has the music. (Cape Verdeans seem to lilt, even when they are heartbroken!)And if you enjoy the lovely Lura in this video, be sure to check out a live performance from her coming soon on our blog. She is a consummate performer with a tireless voice and an athletic presence-- she initially wanted to be a dancer or a swimming teacher! We are lucky she chose otherwise.Purchase the CD.
