Maria "Lutchinha" Leite's newest release "Castanhinha" is teeming with strong vocals, fearless traditional grooves, and a rich Capeverdean tinged texture. Said Lutchinha, who inherits music from her parents: "Only my family and friends know the hardship I went through to record this album. I am really satisfied and proud of the outcome."
From beginning to end, she strings the musical picture collectively with such ease. The title song "Castanhinha," a sensitive morna dedicated to her mother, sets the tone for the more cadenced tunes such as the vibrating "Xan Canta," the Brazilian Samba "Meu Amor" or the charming "Calvaria."
On luscious and mesmerizing songs such as "Lembranca na Peito," composed by Djim Job, "M'nine d' rua," and "Reanima," Lutchinha shows her sharpness and versatility, utilizing her stellar and high-pitched vocals with a towering class, which really gives the music a crafty boost.
With her passionate voice, she emotionally shouts: "Let me sing and spread happiness to make people cheerful in this world." "Castanhinha," definetely brings happiness to her fans.
