A 24-year-old native of Santiago, the most African of the Cape Verde islands, Tcheka has a rich, plaintive voice and a soulful lilt to his music. Unlike the doleful morna style of the island's most renowned singer, Cesaria Evora, Tcheka has adapted to guitar the sprightly field-worker rhythms ofbatuque (originally slapped out on roUed-up loincloths). His new CD, "Nu Monde" (translated as "Weeding"), is a delightful assortment of ballads and uptempo numbers. (8 p.m. today. Cedar Cultural Center, $ 18 advance, $20 door.) 06/22/07
