Mayra Andrade is a brazilian that wasn't born in Brazil. She was born in Cuba, but she exhibits with a lot of honor her title as a cape verdean singer and it was with the cape verdean creole regional language that she recorded most of her tracks in her debut cd, "Navega" (2006). She has a lot of brazilian influence, she speaks our portuguese with no accent at all and some of the musicians that work with her, on stage and in the studio, are brazilians. So, we could not lose this opportunity to have her incredible and intense musicality and her husky and sweet voice, here, in the website. And she accepted this invitation with a lot of enthusiasm and kindness.

To keep incresing her conexion with Brazil, Mayra asked Mariana Aydar to share with her the vocals of the side A "Tunuka" (from the really important musician from Cape Verde, Orlando Pantera), composition that Mariana already sang in her concerts.
SIDE B - MANA

For the side B, Mayra asked the brazilian percussionist Zé Luis Nascimento to play with her "Mana" (Mayra Andrade). While she played the guitar, he played the ocean drum and the tamá.
With a multicultural sonority, but at the same time with a strong identity and beauty, Mayra is an artist to be discovered. It's a pleasure to introduce her.
