Lucibela is a gifted singer from Cape Verde who has gained international recognition for her soulful voice and emotive performances that echo the rich musical heritage of her homeland. Born on the island of São Nicolau and raised in São Vicente, she later moved to Lisbon, Portugal, where her musical career began to flourish. Lucibela is a modern ambassador of the Cape Verdean music scene, particularly of the morna and coladeira genres, which have been popularized globally by the legendary Cesária Évora.
Lucibela's rise in the music world is marked by her deeply emotional delivery and her ability to convey the saudade—a feeling of longing and nostalgia that is characteristic of Portuguese and Cape Verdean music. Albums such as "Laço Umbilical," released in 2018, showcase her ability to blend traditional sounds with contemporary influences, earning her both critical acclaim and a growing fan base. Committed to her cultural roots, she sings in Kriolu, a creole language of Cape Verde, which allows her to share the stories and emotions of her people with authenticity and grace. Her most recent releases, including tracks like "Amdjer," "Txe Txu Fla," and "Porto Novo Vila Crioula," continue to solidify Lucibela as a compelling force in world music and a custodian of the Cape Verdean musical legacy.
