World Music: Lura, "Quebrod nem Djosa"
"The day before yesterday, the Devil tempted me...he wanted me to steal from someone else...I'm poor as a churchmouse."
These days everyone is having hard times, and so a video like this is very timely. But despite its sad lyric, the video has a light touch, as has the music. (Cape Verdeans seem to lilt, even when they are heartbroken!)
And if you enjoy the lovely Lura in this video, be sure to check out a live performance from her coming soon on our blog. She is a consummate performer with a tireless voice and an athletic presence-- she initially wanted to be a dancer or a swimming teacher! We are lucky she chose otherwise.
