LURA
concert
24 July 2024 at 8 p.m. (rain date: 25 July)
Margaret Island Open-Air Stage
Lura - theater sessions
The Portuguese voice that takes you to the hot, vibrant world of Cape Verde! The honest, danceable melodies of Cape Verde come alive at LURA's concert on Margaret Island. With her bright smile, fantastic voice and movement, the energetic singer performs regularly on the big stages of outdoor festivals, in European theatres and American clubs. What is fado in Portugal, tango in Argentina or samba in Brazil is morna in Cape Verde. Lura's voice is unadulterated, and she captivates audiences around the world with her incredible stage presence that transcends all boundaries of style, place and time. Her soul is influenced by two cultures that are present in her life, her songs and her artistic career: Portuguese and Cape Verdean. Cesaria Evora's international success and fame has created the Cape Verdean music industry and shown its potential. In her honor, Lura wrote the hit song "Moda Bô", in which the diva herself collaborated. In 2004, she produced the album Di Korpu Ku Alma (Of Body and Soul). This was Lura's first truly Cape Verdean album, which quickly crossed borders and was released in more than 10 countries, including the US, Italy and the UK - where it was nominated for the BBC World Music Awards. A singer who has been performing for over 25 years, Lura recently released a new album that welcomes new sounds while staying true to her Portuguese and Cape Verdean roots.
Music that makes you dance!
