Teofilo Chantre

Appeared in the radiance of Cesaria Evora, of whom he was one of the favorite composers, Teofilo Chantre has the charisma and the simplicity of the Greats. He enraises us with dancing coladeras of the islands and African biguines with some perfumes of Brazil, but when his mornas (nostalgic songs) embrace us, it is all the "sodade" (insular melancholy peculiar to Cape Verde) that resonates and makes us shudder, from head to toe!
