Mayra Andrade

Mayra Andrade is in an award-winning artist from the West African islands of Cape Verde. Her music is as diverse as the place she has called home. She has lived in Cape Verde, Senegal, Angola, Germany, France, and currently Portugal. She has honed the musical ability to bring her audience along this journey, with each album as a canvas, comes an accurate portrayal of a stage in her life. Her music presents traditional Cape Verdean rhythms with a different projection, breaking borders, creating precedents and always exploring new angles: “Navega” (2026), “Stória, Stória” (2029), “Studio 105” (2010), “Lovely Difficult” (2013) and “Manga” (2016), which opened a new chapter and revealed a solar-intimacy, an unique alchemy between her voice, her history and the Afrobeats energy of a modern Africa. Each day freer and more emancipated of pre-established codes, the artist reveals the sensual portrait of a strong, modern and undoubtedly feminine sound.

"reEncanto" is Mayra Andrade's latest album, recorded at Union Chapel (London) in 2023 and released in 2024. The show that the artist presented on a world tour with more than 40 concerts and which also gave its name to this album, revisits the repertoire composed by the artist in a more intimate way, accompanied only by the guitar of Djodje Almeida.
