Capeverdean songstress Carmen Souza was born in Lisbon but was always surrounded by the tradition, music and costumes of Cape Verde. She has a sweet and versatile voice that glides effortlessly through a huge range with a jazzy sense of timing that reminds us of artists such as Rickie Lee Jones and Diana Krall. Carmen Souza is carving her own little Afro-European jazz niche on her new album 'Verdade' (truth) -- the title is reflected in the incredible authenticity of her singing.
