Nancy Vieira is a distinguished singer who has beautifully carried the torch of Cape Verdean music on the international stage. Born into a family with deep musical roots, Vieira's father was a respected musician, which laid the foundation for her love and passion for the cultural sounds of her home country. Known for her eloquent interpretation of Cape Verdean 'morna' and 'coladeira'—genres intrinsically connected to the likes of Cesária Évora—Vieira has captivated audiences with her voice that flawlessly encapsulates the essence of her island's soulful stories.

Throughout her career, Nancy Vieira has proven herself to be not only a preserver of traditional sounds but also an innovator within the genre. With albums such as "Manhã Florida," and singles like "Mi Sem Bo Amor" and "Cabo Verde Nos Raça," Vieira has continued to bring the language and rhythms of Cape Verde to the forefront of world music. Her ability to blend the nostalgic melodies of "No Amá", the poetic narratives in "Pássaro Cego", and the evocative intimacy of "Segred" displays her versatile artistry. With each release, Nancy Vieira invites listeners to experience both the rich history and the vibrant contemporary life of Cape Verdean music.
