"Listening to the music and the voice of Carmen Souza means immersing oneself in uncontaminated places of sunny beaches and turquoise waters in which the Jazz and the traditional music of Cape Verde, the Morna, meet to give life to alchemies of sounds, perfumes and polyrhythmic suggestions."

The Lusophone sound connections WORSHOP
This workshop sheds a light into the rich and diverse music history of the Cape Verdean Islands located just off the coast of Senegal.
Carmen Souza and her long time musical partner and master producer/composer - Theo Pascal - have created a unique and acclaimed sound identity that mixes the music and dialect of Cabo Verde and other lusophone sounds to Jazz.
Though audience participation and interaction, they will explain the composition dynamics, the cultural and sonic links behind their music.
