Nino Galissa

**Nino Galissa** is a dynamic artist rooted in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verdean musical traditions, known for weaving vibrant Afro-Lusophone sounds into his work. Blending traditional rhythms like gumbe and funaná with modern zouk, kizomba, and electronic influences, his tracks—including recent releases like the soulful *Mindjer* (meaning "Woman" in Kriolu) and the rhythm-driven *Kabaku*—pulse with cultural pride and contemporary flair. Galissa’s music often carries themes of love, social justice, and diasporic identity, delivered through his smooth vocals and mastery of instruments like the djembe. A key figure in Lisbon’s Lusophone music scene, he collaborates with West African and diaspora artists, creating a sound that bridges generations and geographies.
