In this new music, Jazz speaks a language of freedom that is meaningful to all cultures and blends perfectly with traditional music and rhythms like Funana, Contradança, Morna or Mazurka—reflecting the multi-layered hybridity of Cape Verde itself. Port’Inglês is also released in a year Portugal is celebrating 50 years of the Carnation Revolution the military coup that overthrew the authoritarian Estado Novo government on 25 April 1974. This movement paved the way for the end of Wars in the colonial A frica and open ed the door for their Independence from Portugal . After residing in the UK for 16 years, Souza uses her music to delve into the unexpected connections between her motherland, Cape Verde, and the United Kingdom, a country that has nurtured her creativity. Inspired by her master’s thesis on the British presence in Cape Verde, Carmen Souza embarked on a deeply personal and musically enriching journey. Crafting a collection of original songs deeply rooted in the Islands’ spirit, she retells the stories of these two cultures’ encounters and their lasting impact on Cape Verde after centuries of English presence. This journey is a testament to her passion and dedication to her craft, inviting the audience to share in her musical exploration.
