LIVE REVIEW:

"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." 
 Paulo Marra, AllaboutJazz.com

"A clear and vibrant timbre, endowed with a prodigious technique but without ever being a slave to it, touches the pieces with grace and unpredictability"

WORKSHOP AVAILABLE:
Carmen Souza & Theo Pascal -
Exploring the Lusophone sound connections 
 
 
 
"There is nothing artificial in the style of Carmen Souza: perfectly master of the scene, elegant and magnetic. A rhythmic cocktail that includes new melodies, exotic atmospheres and experiments with an African flavour. The Portuguese vocalist has an indisputable verve that recalls the personality of great artists such as Billie Holiday and Nina Simone."
Vocebluenews
 
The band are terrific. Souza herself has a fabulously versatile voice – she can do a smokey blues contralto, but mostly favours high sweet dripping phrasing in the manner of Billie Holliday, or a slightly winsome Blossom Dearie...She can scat with the best of them". LondonJazzNews
