Nancy Vieira

To state that Nancy Vieira is Cape Verdean may be a way of justifying her innate musicality. But that is not the whole story. Her attitude towards life and the way she interprets it gives rise to a stream of emotions allowing us, through a succession of joys and sorrows, to get a glimpse of her personality. In her voice there is neither rage nor rebellion. Instead, it is full of tenderness and subtlety; rhythm and firmness. There is both true feeling and interpretation. Cape Verde is inspiration. It is the cause and effect of her singing. The world is both the auditorium and the essential part of a cultural mix from where she draws inspiration. Vieira has worked with many top artists, both live and in recording studios, including Rui Veloso, Ala dos Namorados, and Dany Silva.
