A new album is said to be released in the next few weeks. Entitled "Ca nô tcha rabecada morrê!", it is a collection of various traditional pieces of Cape Verde music played on violin, an instrument that used to be a central element of the morna. "The aim of this record is to rehabilitate the key role of the violin in Cape Verdean tradition", says the producer, Armando Correio e Silva.

Here are two short excerpts:

Amo o vosso país, as vossas gentes, a vossa música. Estar aqui é como se eu estivesse em Cap Verde.
