Smooth Operator: Lura's Island Flavor Brings Sunshine To Seattle
If you think sugar cane is the best export from the Cape Verde Islands well, we’ve got something sweeter for you. Portuguese singer Lura is here to lure you with the release of her latest album, M'bem di Fora (I Come From Far Away,) and she isn’t sparing any souls. Serving as a modern-day griot for generations on the West African island, she blends together native beats like Coladeira, Cola-Sanjon and Morna, and she adds a sprinkle of R&B. Her sound highlights the richness in music, culture and rhythms found on the 15,000-square-mile island. So forget Splenda and Equal because Lura serves it raw! Northwesterners, catch her live in Seattle at the Dimitriou's Jazz Alley on April 17th. 04/13/07
